Is there a cross-over point from normal drinking to being addicted?
I understand that once you're addicted alcohol, you can never drink it again. But have you ever heard a therapist say that you've been drinking too much for too long to consider normal drinking?
I've had two therapists speak about this as if I wasn't addicted in the first place, but I drank myself into the addiction after a certain period of time.
Has anyone had any experience with this? They say no one really knows whether or not it's a disease, but why would these therapists seem to be under the idea that there's a "crossing over point" in your drinking career where you switch from normal drinker to addicted drinker?
