just out of curiousity cause I'm confused on what an alcoholic is and just a social drinker...
since my fiance mainly drinks socially but the alcohol affects him negatively at times - would that consider him an alcoholic? I believe he does use alcohol as a way to suppress negative feelings; work overload, ex-wife issues, finanical, etc.
if he is truely considered an alcoholic should he not drink at all? I never asked him to quit completely because I never felt it was my place to tell him what to do. My ultimate wish would be that he be able to control his temper when he drinks but not sure if that is something that is even possible to do - if the alcohol trips some switch and he has no real control over his actions once he takes a sip...
I am reading the different threads on here but haven't found any that define what an alcoholic really is so please forgive my ignorance.
