I'm drinking too much but it's caused by a complete lack of connection.
As a teenager and early adult, I sought connection as a priority. Sex mainly and emotional close friendships or shags.
I'm pissed out of my tree now. Common. But I'm in my 40s, married, a partner who cba working on connection. Kids and work, demands on my time but I need to RELAX.
Anyone else in the same situation?? Husband judgy about alcohol use and doesn't understand its function as a necessary escape from the constant parenting demand
