New! Introducing myself....
Hi everyone.
I've been reading a lot of your threads and decided it was time for me to indroduce myself.
I'm not sure if I am an alcoholic or not, and it really doesn't matter, because I do know I am a problem drinker. I should not be drinking period because of some of the medication I am on.
I don't get drunk a lot, but I drink everyday. Sometimes I'll start the day saying I am not going to today..... but end up doing it anyway (to beat myself up????). I recently went without drinking for 40 days with no problem.... I can't remember what got me started again? Probably a fight with my SO. Anger is usually my biggest trigger.
I was in AA for 12 years, and I don't believe it is the right way for me to go this time, so I am searching out other support.
I do not WANT to drink anymore. Even if it's a drink or two at night to relax. I don't want that crutch and I certainly don't want my liver to go to hell because I am drinking on medication that clearly states not to drink alcoholic beverages.
So thank you for letting me introduce myself. You all seem so supportive and loving. I look forward to coming here and actually posting.

Welcome Whsiper. You're right it doesn't matter on the label. If you're not comfortable or don't believe you're an alcoholic - who cares? You have a desire to quit drinking and this a great place to get support to do just that. Welcome!!
