#acoas

Wow, I saw this gown and immediately thought of Feyre and her transformation from the Spring Court to the Night Court. 

Other ACOAs I meet and even one of my siblings who are now sober, T-total, abstaining whatever term they prefer seem to look down on me. I’m not drinking everyday, or even every week, about once or twice a month I hang out with my friends and drink wine, or get a long island iced tea while at a gig or seeing a show. I know my limits, it’s rare I’m more than tipsy. I’m happy to never discuss alcohol consumption, but it’s frustrating that others want to decide I’ll become my father if I don’t completely abstain from something I can enjoy/indulge in sometimes?

I’ve made an active effort to understand when and what I shouldn’t drink. Shots make me miserable, so I don’t do them. I don’t drink when I’m anxious or in a bad mood, because even if it gives me a slight reprieve I know it makes me feel worse later.
