I took the test and apparently I too have a drinking problem.
Here's the difference between my drinking and alcoholic drinking. I have the urge to stop. I have a two drink maximum. I don't care for any more that two drinks in one 24 hour period, don't care for being hung over, don't even have one drink and drive (if I am driving, I am completely sober). But I do like a beer in the evening and look forward to it - as part of my transition from the day to the night...its like a little ritual for me. Does that make me an alcoholic?
However, I read as much as I could when I first began to suspect my husband to be one. I think what "sheneedshelp" is doing is admirable. But...what happens is we find the outcome of our research and self-education won't stop someone from being an alcoholic. Keep reading and keep seeking resources. If she does come to you for help with her drinking, you'll be ready, Until then. it is her problem and only hers.
