I guess some people just don't really know what too much is, whilst some obviously do. It's a fine line. I worked with a binge drinker and coke head who would get into the worst situations and behaviour when wasted but believed it was not a problem cos he didn't do it every day of the week. Denial is the enemy of seeing the truth, no matter how painful. Sometimes we avoid the truth at any cost. The spiral continues. After 24 years clean and sober I catch myself still in denial. Recovery is always work in progress.
