I realized I had a drinking problem when....
Hopefully everyone will find this meaningfull, so I will start it off with a couple..
I realized I had a drinking problem when I watched intervention (on A/E TV), and I was drinking as much as the person receiving the intervention.
I realized I had a drinking problem when the last thing I remembered from the night before (blackout) was heading to another bar after I was denied service in another because I was already too drunk.
I have many more, however I will let you all add yours. I feel it helpfull to remind myself daily, where I have been, and more importantly where I am going back to if I start drinking again.
