Are their nuances to my style that i should know about and be weary? I'm not crazing drinks, and i normally dont until the next time i crave a good binge (normally 1-3times a week, but generally just once during the weekend).

thanks
welcome!!!

I honestly don't think there are any different 'types' of alcoholism. There are differences in the stages of the disease we happened to be in when we got sober, which for me was a problem, I had a bad habit of comparing where I was to where they were, and managed to con myself into thinking that I wasn't alcoholic because I hadn't reached that stage-yet.
