You crave alcohol. You desire it. You don't keep up your obligations for work, school, home, family. You continue to keep on doing it despite social problems. You continue to keep on doing it despite dangerous things, drink driving perhaps, walking along the top of a wall drunk, just doing dangerously physical hazardous things while drinking. You know that you shouldn't be doing it, but you continue doing it.
Have you ever convinced yourself that your drinking isn't a problem because you don't do it every day? Veronica Valli and Chip Somers are here to shatter that myth. In this episode of 'Soberful', they take a hard look at binge pattern dependency drinking. It's not about how often you drink, but the patterns and behaviors that come with it.

Chip and Veronica dissect the common excuses and justifications people use to mask their dependency.
