Thank you for sharing that info. I think I might look into getting that book.

Lately I have started to wonder if I have a problem too, because as you said with the banana reference -- I don't drink everyday, although sometimes it can be one drink or two a night, but sometimes on the weekends I get really carried away. I drink 7+ drinks and then I suffer really bad depression and awful emotions the next day, on top of the anxiety and disorder I already have.

I feel almost as embarrassed to tell someone I want to try to stay away from drinking for a while as I do telling someone I might have depression or BPD. I find it interesting that we shy away from saying that.

Especially living in the city I find that so much of our society is surrounded by this social drinking atmosphere. How do I get away from it?
