What I drank, how much I drank, and when I drank was of little use in my recovery from alcoholism.
What I became when I was drinking, and what I was like in between drinking bouts (restless, irritable, and discontented) were my concerns
Freedom said it all!!!
In the end my tolerance was totally whacked up, one day 6-8 beers would have me slurring my speech and stumbling, the next day I could drink one beer after another all day long and not even cop a buzz..... how much did I drink at my worst? Well over a case and still funtioning before my tolerance went haywire.
Please keep in mind that an alcoholic is an alcoholic, it does not matter how much or how little one drank, or for how long, or often, if someone is an alcoholic, they are an alcoholic.
It breaks my heart when an alcoholic convinces them selfs they are not an alcoholic because they do not drink as much as so and so, or they have not drank as long as them, or they have not been to jail... etc.
If one says they are an alcoholic, they are.
