Do I have a drinking problem? Sign #2

If you avoiding eating food so you you can get a better buzz from alcohol, you might have a drinking problem.

I hated the nights I would come home from work and dinner was ready.

Does this sound like a rational or reasonable feeling? What person wouldn’t, after a long day at work and an even longer commute want to come home to a hot meal already on the table? Someone with a drinking problem.

My husband is not very organized in the kitchen, I preferred the nights when I could get a few drinks in while “helping” finish dinner. It was even better when nobody was home and I could drink and cook in peace and qiuet.

In my drinking days, dessert was something I could pass on. Now that I am consuming hundreds fewer liquid empty calories, I have room for dessert!

Since I have quit drinking, dinner is a welcome sight at the end of the day. When I am driving home, I bring an extra snack or two in my lunch to keep me from being tempted by the “empty stomach faster buzz” bug.

If you find yourself avoiding food in order to drink alcohol, if you prefer alcohol to dessert, you might have a drinking problem.
