I realized I had a problem after my first blackout, more precisely after I was told how I behaved during my first blackout. The real question is when did I decide to do something about it...

I can't give such a clear-cut answer to this one. I slowly got tired of the ********. The breaking point for me was realizing that I had become someone I wouldn't respect and whom I would avoid.

It's a pretty high bottom, I never got to become a daily drinker or to lose control too many times... but I do hope it will have been my bottom.

A husband and son are very good reasons to stop drinking Lakia, best of luck.

I drank a lot in college, and and had to leave after I wound up in the hospital one night. I had a bunch of nights that just exploded when I was really drunk. Surprisingly, I never really thought of alcohol as the problem. Over time I kept trying to quit drinking and couldn't. I went to my first AA meeting when I was in the Army after I got in some trouble for drinking too much in there. It has seeped in more and more that I'm alcoholic.

If I made a list of the worst things that have happened in my life, the top 10, top 20, maybe even top 50 were when I was drunk. Stuff I did, the way I felt, the way people around me treated me. But that's just coincidence right??? Hahaha. Yea I'm alcoholic.

hiding booze in the house
going on binges, then doing it again the very next night
drinking instead of eating
peeing the bed
blacking out time and time again

I knew it for a long, long time but did nothing about it.

I did something about it when I crossed the imaginary line of having worse behavior than I witnessed my alcoholic parents, brothers, aunts, uncles, and grandparents to have ever exhibited.

Which amounted to lots of wasted years - literally.
