Why does it mean to be an alcoholic?
I understand that once I take that first drink there's no telling when I will stop. I know moderation isn't possible with us alcoholics but why do alcoholics drink? Do they crave alcohol or just crave being under the influence of something. Do people drink because they are alkies? Does being an alcoholic make me want alcohol more than a regular person? Or is it just when I start drinking I cannot control the amount I drink.
I understand myself being an alcoholic, but I just wanted to know a little deeper. I know all of you will have wonderful answers. Thanks!
