Third Glass: When Drinking Becomes An Issue

Drinking is only an issue when it damages a person or a relationship. Emotional drinking as an alternative to staying present and dealing with your feelings can become a real issue in many relationships. This book outlines my discovery of ';the third glass' with the help of my partner. She encouraged me to write the first few articles. When I said, ';The third glass is when things change,' she responded with, ';That's good. You need to write that one down.' So I did. This writing an unfolding of my own understanding and my own personal issue with drinking, sobriety, depression, and longing for a ';high.' Today, I rarely drink. When I do drink it is a conscious choice rather than a habit or routine. This is about me and my experience of alcohol and alcoholism and how it has touched my life.
