Alcoholism or Bad Habit?
just got home from meeting hubby for lunch (not at work today -- sick tweenager).
i could have stopped at the grocery store and bought the wine i like.
i didn't because i didn't crave it.
however; in the evening beginning around 4:00 or 5:00 i begin craving the wine i like. and if i have it in the house, i will drink it until the room spins around, and would continue if i didn't have to work the next day or take care of home/family responsibilities.
so am i an alcoholic or do i have a "simple" bad habit, like the bedtime snack habit that started 12 years ago when i was pregnant and had to eat before bed to prevent feeling sick? i still eat a bedtime snack most nights, especially if i stay up late.
i guess i'm wondering what the difference is between alcoholism and "bad habit."
