definition of an alcoholic
I heard it put this way and it made complete sense to me....If you think about drinking or you think about NOT drinking, you might be an alcoholic. I recommend the same thing to all people who think they might have a problem. Go to AA and find out. The people there, like the people here, will help you make that decision for yourself.
Just go with an open mind and see if you relate. There are quite a few younger people in the meetings I go to and one of my best friends in the program got sober very young. The point being, you can get off the roller coaster at any point you choose. You don't have to suffer many of the things you will hear about from others in the meetings...
Good Luck silenttruth
