As we are about to enter “party season” with summer vacation and warm weather on the horizon I find myself filled with anxiety and fear. I am a drinker. I have such problems with moderation and simple gatherings with friends/family often end in binges and brown/blackouts. I consciously have to get my mind wrapped around this because the stakes are high and consequences for my behavior are on the table. I am hopeful but trepidatious for sure.
