Thanks, Antigua. I have abandonment issues with my mother too. My dad taught me how to drink. When I was 5, he had me suck the foam off his cans of beer as he'd watch Hockey Night in Canada. A fine family tradition. He was a professional right up until his death at age 53. My EMDR therapist wants me to make a list of the things I would do if I didn't drink. *sigh* I wish this was a CHOICE. It doesn't feel like a CHOICE. It feels like a compulsion, like I'm afraid to spend time with myself straight. I hope to get to the bottom of this, or I doubt I'll ever be well.
