Hey guys. I go by Akira. If your wondering yes I got the name from the anime. I wouldn't call myself an alcoholic. I don't see myself as dependent on it, all though at times it helps when I become stressed out. On average I drink 2-3 times a week. The most I can drink is a fifth of vodka. I probably pull that off once every 3 months though, but I can do it at any given time. I do believe I have a dilemma with alcohol though. Like I said before, I don't feel like I need it to go on with my day, but it helps me from snapping when I have issues at work or at home. I've been having too many of those as of late and I think it might be some minor form of withdrawal now.

Well, that's pretty much my story as of now. I'll be around.

Welcome to SR Akira

I think that any kind of reliance on alcohol to help us cope could be seen as a dependence. You don't have to be an alcoholic to change your relationship with alcohol, you don't have to drink x

I actually just talked about this with someone at a retreat I am attending for the weekend. It will be healthier for me to just handle the problems head on for now instead of resolving to drinking so I don't hurt someone's feelings or give them a negative outlook on myself. Better than killing myself or someone else due to not controlling myself thanks to alcohol.

thanks for stopping in to say hi too
