Welcome HighBottom57!

I can see that it would be hard to relate to the unmanageable part. I didn't have the usual consequences either, but I knew there was something wrong with my relationship to alcohol. When I went to treatment years ago, I was drinking 3-4 beers a night, but when I tried to stop on my own, I couldn't. That said a lot to me.

I stayed sober for 4+ years and then started doubting whether I had a real problem. I eventually drank again and it slowly increased over time. If you see even the potential of addiction, you're wise to stop now. It only gets harder down the road.

Glad you're here!
