I know terminology around a the world differs. Is that what you were thinking too?
Day 3 is ending fine with no adverse effects, so far.
Yeah, kinda... I just meant that the vast majority of alcoholics are totally different from the stereotypical "litre of a vodka a day, need a drink to get out of bed" types. Being an alcoholic is in my opinion not even defined by how much you actually drink. I read something recently that basically had 4 bullets to the effect of... "If you think you have a problem, you probably do. If you're ever ashamed of your drinking (hiding it from others) you probably have a problem. " etc.
Great job on 3 days. I hope you get a sense of achievement out of that - remember that feeling!
