well, sometimes objective observers can see things that we can't. Part of therapy, I think, is being open to all ideas, challenges etc... no matter how much of a threat or wrong we think they may be initially.

Of course, that doesn't mean that the observations aren't wrong, just that they merit consideration.

I think drinking is especially one of those observation. Most of the time, family, friends, and others see drinking as a problem a long time before we can. It's the nature of alcohol.

It might be time to at least take a look at your drinking habits and see how they are contributing to your life.

It's very easy, I think, to get into serious trouble with alcohol, and no one starts out thinking "I'm going to give my life over to this bottle", but it can and does happen.

If there is a problem, now is the time to correct it, but it may take a hard look at yourself and your habits.

Just my opinion.
