And now that you know why you drink, the real work begins.

Sutton: He was happier than I expected. I was expecting him to be devasted.
Therapist: The fact that he wasn’t…
Sutton: It made me sad.
Therapist: There is no judgment here.
Sutton: Seeing him happy reminded me how I felt as a kid.
Therapist: With your mom?
Sutton: My dad actually. He left when I was young, and I just remember when he would come back, he had this whole other life. I didn’t think about it until right now, but I feel like… it made me feel like I wasn’t enough, that my dad was happier somewhere else. Is it weird that my husband is bringing up old stuff with my dad?
Therapist: Not at all.
Sutton: Well, you said no judgment so I’ll just say it: I really wish that I could have a shot of tequila right now.
Therapist: Why?
Sutton: So that I wouldn’t have to feel the pain, the fear of not being enough, all of it.
Therapist: So you drink to stop yourself from feeling the things that hurt the most.
Sutton: I guess so.
Therapist: And now that you know why you drink, the real work begins.

The Bold Type Season 5 Episode 5 Quotes

Adena: You’re gonna take [Jacqueline] up on that, aren’t you?
Kat: I think she was just saying that to be nice.
Adena: No, Kat, she wasn’t just being nice. She was being Jacqueline, and Jacqueline knows a lot about building a magazine.
Kat: OK, I’ll talk to her.

Therapist: So what brings you here today?
Sutton: Well, a friend of mine noticed I’ve been drinking a lot, and my mom’s an alcoholic. I’m sorry. I wasn’t expecting that. So I guess I’m just trying to get ahead of a potential problem.
Therapist: That’s very brave of you to do that.
Sutton: I’ve actually been doing really great. I love my job and my friends are amazing. I am getting divorced, but I’ve been through all the stages -- anger, sadness, denial. I threw a divorce party, which was actually really helpful.
Therapist: But you’re drinking too much.
Sutton: A couple of glasses a day. I mean who doesn’t have the occasional wild night, am I right?
Therapist: I’m not as concerned as how much you drink as what drives you to drink.
Sutton: ‘Cause it’s fun. I don’t know. I’ve never really thought about it.
