There's also a blog function on SR, you could use it like a journal.

Not sure why you post, when responses are continuously challenged.

So your binging 'once a week' wasn't feasible huh?

Seems not no.

I maintain that I still make the decisions about when and how I drink.

Wheres the blog function, I genuinely have no idea where or how to use it and would be very interested.

Up at the top in the blue menu bar, there's a button that says "Blogs" then "your blogs", click that and I think you can set it up and post away.

And for the record, I also make the decisions about when and how I drink too

This thread SO reminds me of my Denial Days. I had the entire Encyclopedia set of excuses. What I was seeking (often from other Drunks) was someone to say "You're not an Alcoholic. Go on drink as much as you want. If you were an Alcoholic you'd look like that guy over there".

Since you are desparately trying to convince yourself that your Binge Drinking does not equal Alcoholism, I'm curious as to what it will take for you to finally say "uh oh, I've got a problem". What are your personal benchmarks to achieving Alcoholism? DUI's? Jail? Lost jobs? Broken Relationships? Chemical Dependency? Skid Row Bum eating out of a Dumpster?

Because if you continue on the road you are on now, most or all of those things will eventually come to fruition before your very eyes.

Brave would be to make the decision to put down the bottle FOREVER.

Trust me, that takes balls. And it's no easy thing to do.

It takes bravery to live life totally sober, free from any and all substances that allow us to escape from reality, albeit temporarily. Bravery is facing that reality totally sober, as we are meant to do. It takes bravery to live life like that, it also takes bravery to face the facts of your own life and make the changes necessary to ensure that you will continue to actually have a life to live. The path you are on leads to your own destruction. Not surprisingly, this is evident to everyone but you.
