The fear comes from having to admit I'm an alcoholic. Maybe I do go through this "pink cloud"experience. I do feel so happy and strong when I'm sober, and usually not a lot of struggles with the AV. When I feel strong, I think to myself "you got this", I don't post as much and I certainly haven't sought outside help. Then it bursts, there's no arguing from the AV, I just go buy booze, without even thinking about it. Like I'm on auto pilot...

This is what really helped me. I don't really care much for the 'label' of alcoholic, so I went with "I'm a horrible drunk." The guy that could drink all night and behave vanished about 6yrs ago for me. Now I'm not a good person when I drink,so I don't drink any longer.
