Hi and welcome

Only you can decide if you are an alcoholic.There are all sorts of drinking patterns that can be considered alcoholic.I think the more important issue is that your drinking clearly bothers you.And you probably know that drinking along with your medication is not a good idea.

I drank for many years,as a binge type drinker.I'd get smashed,have blackouts,and then go for weeks or even months without drinking.Meanwhile,I used other drugs.It was always the effect that I was chasing.I wanted to be high all the time.

It wound up smashing my life completely before I could see that I had a problem.I am lucky to be alive.It sounds like you already know that your drinking is a problem.The question now is,what do you want to do about it?

You'll find a lot of support here.Keep coming back....k?
