I begin drinking "sparingly" a couple drinks here and there, I didn't really like the taste...and didn't like the way it made me feel at first because I am a control freak and I realize I wasn't in control when I drank...then it began...it took hold...I began binge drinking on weekends...then every other night...then every night...then at noon, then before noon...then at 8am...then sometimes at 3am when I woke up and couldn't get back to sleep.
I now realize that it doesn't matter anymore...when you're an alcoholic and you drink even once a week...you're still an alcoholic...and you are drinking alcoholicly.
