I have been sober almost one year from the booze. Jan 11th will be one year I think...anyway, I am looking at a lot of people I know and their habits.
I was wondering if it is possible to have a physical addiction and not a mental one?
I know that I never really ever had a specific mental craving for the sauce, but by going out, I would drink. Usually I would get pretty hammered going out with the gang, but then when I was by myself I would have a few drinks (2-4) while watching some tv or just relaxing.
I realized my physical addiction was growing very quickly towards the end and didnt like the health side affects that were happening to my body, so I quit. Once I made the decision to quit, mentally I didnt find it hard, but the physical withdrawals were ******* brutal.
I am not thinking about drinking again, but is this possible>? Can someone have a physical addiction and not a mental one?
Thanx,
