So are Viagra commercials... Do you spend your time consumed with Viagra?
Obviously, I'm kidding. For me, this is kind of an all or nothing kind of deal. Either you are an alcoholic (which most doctor's diagnose as a progressive and deadly condition) or your not. If I were in your shoes (which I certainly have been before) try and learn more about alcoholism. From there, make an honest assessment of yourself. There are online tests you can take to help you decide if you truly are alcoholic.
Once I really understood I am alcoholic, everything changed!!!! Drinking is no longer an option. At that point, I must find a way to live in the world without alcohol. I have found AA and it's working very well.
I too used to think this world revolved around alcohol. I was wrong. It really doesn't... I wish you the best in the future and if you feel you have a problem we're all here for you.
Thanks for posting!
