Yes, interesting concept - "relationship with alcohol" - on reflection I agree with you.

I developed a relationship with alcohol and other things to substitute for some of the ones I felt I didn't have (mother abandonment stuff too, or inconsistent parenting, lol, probably no surprise there).

I've got some awareness around these issues, but it's only when I don't drink that I get any power to change, accept, grow, and then discover new awarenesses and then more acceptance, change and growth.

Thanks for your kind reply.
