All I am saying is that at the end of the day, of course I can drink 2 drinks and not have anymore. It is not particularly hard, you pick up 2 glasses, drink them, and then don't refill the glass. Simples. It is all down to choice.
Seeking out a recovery website such as I have done is down to me being inquisitive, hence my name. I feel there is a presumption that if you post on here, yo must have an issue. If I join a car website to find out a bit more about cars does that make me a car freak? I am simply seeking knowledge. If anything I am an over-reacter, I am sensitive and pick up on things early, almost obssessing about them and trying to rectify them. But again, not knowing me you would not be able to appreciate that.
You say I am in a state of being overwhelmed ina period between alcohol and no alcohol? I don't get that... I have not drank since last Saturday night as per usual and have been working as per usual. Alcohol doesn't cross my mind in that period, sorry.
No, that's not true. It might be a presumption based on your admitted alcohol consumption though
And, nah.. I wasn't making stuff up, here:
According to the Dietary Guidelines for Americans,1 drinking in moderation is defined as having no more than 1 drink per day for women and no more than 2 drinks per day for men. This definition is referring to the amount consumed on any single day and is not intended as an average over several days.
I also chose every drink I consumed. How in the world would that justify it as less of a problem? LOL!
And you don't seem like an overreacter to me, at all. Likely the opposite..
Or Taz is right. Ah well.
