Here's my suggestion, haas.

Start a page on your computer or in a notebook and start with your very first drink, write it down.

Then work chronologically through your drinking "career" and write down all the experiences you had while drinking. Don't leave anything out.

Then look at the story as a whole.

When I did that, it became very clear.

How did continuing to drink change over time? How often did I drink a couple and feel content with that? More than one drink per day for a woman or two drinks per day for a man is considered excessive, medically.

I know where I fall on that. I was pretty powerless in all things drink-related: even from the very start I wanted to keep the party going, but definitely by the end it was more than just a little problem.
