Hi Kel,
I don't think I'm an alcoholic...yet. It was quite a rude awakening and you can be sure I'll keep an eye on my drinking now that I know what can happen. There was one time in college that I couldn't remember most of the evening but luckily I had great friends around who really took care of me. I cut back on the heavy drinking since then & picked it up after I turned 30 after meeting a friend who really enjoys drinking. I really don't drink much (no more than 2) with other friends. This one just really loved drinking and I gave into the constant pressure of always having to have one more with her. Because of my behavior during my blackout, we are no longer friends & I guess that may be to my benefit right now.
