hello
I am a new member. I found this forum after reflecting. Drinking sake and soju has been a part of my life. At social activities I drink often. many people I know stopped drinking after marriage; myself left with no drinking friend. When stressed I drink, though I don't compare it to frat party black out drunk, I tend to drink often, even alone. I was in two back to back toxic relationships. With drinking it calmed me. many cannot tell if I am buzzed... Now I am free and live alone but I still drink. I looked at my bank bill and see $80 spent on drinks in one month and wonder if it is true what my friends say.. that I am an alcoholic and not a casual drinker. I hope to read other stories here on this forum and figure my confusion out.

Welcome to SR, karimx00! If your friends are saying that there is a problem with your drinking, it's probably a wise decision to take a look at said drinking. There is a ton of great support and wisdom to be found on these forums. Take advantage of them and check in often!

Hi.
Only you can detect if there is a problem drinking. To determine that, we need to be honest with ourself and accept that we may be alcoholic.
Be aware in regards this subject, far too many will automatically reject that line of thinking with loads of rationality or cloudy memory.
There are web based tests that are accurate if we answer honestly.
BE WELL
