Hi

I was the same at AA meetings; some of the stories were horrifying and I'd think, well, I never got drunk and stole a bus and ended up in a police cell. I just had a few drinks and watched TV.

The fact is though, that I couldn't go more than two days without drinking. I'm an alcoholic. I spent at least £300 a month on booze, I lost jobs, I alienated my family etc.

Your story doesn't have to match the stories of others. If alcohol is a problem for you, then the best thing to do is to stop before it gets worse.

Welcome to SR

PS I've just remembered, I did actually get drunk and steal a JCB digger in Germany once. Bad idea.
