I have found that if someone questions if they are or aren't an alcoholic,they usually are.

An alcoholic cannot manage by cutting back. It's impossible. Like 51 Anna said, if you aren't drinking, your thoughts are obsessed with it. I would sit at work and count the hours when I would be able to drink again. I would actually stop in the morning. before I went to work to get more Bacardi so when I got off work, I didn't have to waste that 10 minutes or so stopping on the way home. I think now about how pitiful I must have looked, waiting in the parking lot every morning for the employees to come and open the liquor store.

Try going for a few weeks without drinking. Go to where you enjoy the finer foods and see if you can keep going without drinking any alcohol at all.

I think you will answer your own question. When you do, I hope you will seek out AA meetings.

God Bless,
Judy
