I know that I drink too much booze but I'm sick of everyone telling me | The Sun

DEAR DEIDRE: I’M sick of everyone telling me that I should stop drinking so much.

I’m a man of 53 and I know that I put away too much booze.

My partner split with me because she felt I put drink before her and even my mum had a go at me for my drinking.

They both said: “If you really wanted to give up, you would.”

Well I do. I’m not proud that I’m a functioning alcoholic but there isn’t enough support for people like me.

I work when the AA meetings are on and the counselling I was offered through my doctor was useless.
