I know a few of you from some of the other boards.

Anyway I thought I would check in here for opinions before talking to my therapist. Here goes. I have never been really been a drinker. Last year if I had two drinks (like twisted teas etc) I would definitely feel the effects. Around the holidays things became very stressful and in the evening in order to relax I would have a drink or 2. Then when things got really bad it increased. It got to the point that I was drinking 5 or 6 in an evening and definitely feeling the effects. I always gut up and worked and it never effected anything. About 2-3 months ago my dr. changed some of my antidepressants with great effect. So I really cut down on the drinking. I have limited it to 1 sometimes 2 drinks a night. Never in my wildest dreams would I have thought alcohol would be an issues. This past Friday a group of us went out to celebrate my daughters graduation while she was away at Project Grad. I had a drink that should have had some pretty major effects but it didn't in fact I came and had smirnoff. Then today the family went out to lunch to celebrate and I got a mixed drink as well as 2 large glasses of water. Again didn't feel much effect. Hubby drove home as he only water because he was dehydrated from working outside in the heat. When we got home my daughter wanted to go to her friends house about 4 miles away. I offered to drive her there. On my way back home I realized there was NO way I should have been driving but honestly didn't even think anything about it until then. As you can see I have sort of been concerned lately but don't know if it is really a problem or what. I am thinking of sending my T an email now and telling her I know that it isn't something that we should be discussing outside of a session but I want to say something while I am concerned. As when I become concerned I always think after it really isn't a problem. Especially when my husband doesn't think it is a problem. In fact when I mentioned to him that I should not have brought kiddo out...he said it had been long enough and I was fine to drive...any input...not sure what to say to Therapist.
