I drink at most 3 drinks a day (large cups rum and coke)!. It melts my stress away after a long day at work!. I have been known to have a couple drinks on sundays (after 12)!. I feel slight panic when I know im out of Rum!. I think I know the answer to my question!. BUT, what do you think!?Www@FoodAQ@Com

To an extent I can see it!. But also, its just to relax!. I do things to relax, it doesn't mean Im addicted!. I would say u do a little bit!. But if you feel like this could get worse, get help! Now if you are going on a rampage cuz u dont have alcohol then that would totally be an alcoholic!. Try to cut yourself back everyday so u drink less and less!.

I think you may be addicted to rum, but not a full on alcoholic!. trying relieving stress another way like drinking tea or taking a bath!. an alcoholic is best described as one who lets their love for Alcohol run their lives!. avoid this and you will be okay!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Kelsey, my doctor would say yes, you are an alcoholic, based on two things!. One, you drink every day, and two, you feel panicky if you fear you can't drink!.
It sounds to me like you'd be really smart to learn other de-stressers, so that a lovely run-and-coke is just one of the ways you unwind!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Kelsey, I know exactly how you are feeling!. I work very hard every day, I take care of anyone that needs help and when I am coming home, I have a few drinks!. I already plan to buy it on my way home when I know I don't have anything in my bar!. I sometimes think it is a kind of alcoholism because you really need it at that time!. I force myself to not drinking anything and not buying any booze and I can go on for about 2 weeks without!. But any kind of stress or emotional issues that come up just throw me right back!.
I don't know how old you are, but please try to stop it!. My mom did the same and she died because of it!. I am struggeling with it for a long time and believe me it doesn't feel good and it does not solve any problems!.
Good luck to youWww@FoodAQ@Com

i belive that if you have more the 3 drinks a week you are!. but if you are so worried about it then get helpWww@FoodAQ@Com
Yes!. Although you may not need it physically you are mentally relying on alcohol to bring you relief!. That is not a healthy relationship with alcohol!. At some point you will need more to relax and the need will progress, unless you stop it!. Just consider what you may do if your stress increases!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
in my opinion alcoholics let consumption of alcohol and their quest for alcohol interfere with their life!.!.!. if you are responsible when you drink and you don't "need" alcohol to function i don't think you are an alcoholic!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
that u luv alcahol iam i right course iam that means u r a alcaholic its okay iam one myself theres a positve side to this kno one will ask for a ride to the airport or stuff like thatWww@FoodAQ@Com
I think the best way to relieve stress is to exercise, go run a mile and see if your still stressed! Plus its healthier than drinking! Try substituting exercise for rum for one week and see what happens!Www@FoodAQ@Com
i don't know if i would consider you a full on alcoholic but it sounds like thats where you might be headed!. and from my own experience with my family it is a horrible thing to get caught up in!. do your best to quit while your ahead!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
only you know if you are, nobody can tell you if you are are aren't!. although, someone may suggest that you may drink a little to much!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Have a keg system!. Know when I drink too much!. Don't drive!. Brother-in-law was on verge of loosing wife, lost job, had car accidents, sick lots of time, denied there was a problem!. He took the cure, his son didn't!. Son now lame fron car crash he almost didn't live through!. Father took about a dozen times to get through the system!. Runs in family!. When you say Am I!? You really can answer it but also may be able to control it by backing off slowly and recognizing that there is a problem!. If one drink gets you anxious, you will need help which is available from people very close to you!. They don't advertize but will really help you!. No guilt at meetings!. Just go to one or two to find out!. No more clouds of smoke at meetings!. (subbing one habit for another) Please try Yoga or feedback techniques!. I can look at heart monitor and run my pulse back almost a dozen beats per minute!. Get monitor!. Plot pulse rate before and after drinks!. Will find not is different if you know the bottle is empty after last drink!. also use the "not until after 12" technique!. Works to limit but not eliminate addiction!. Difference between drunks and alcoholics is that alcoholics have to go to meetings! (George Carlson_) GOOD LUCK and you can contact me at tyndell_brian @ Yahoo!. com!. Last Co I worked for admitted that 10% of whole work force had a problem and arranged help whenever asked!. If you have Indian blood, may have to stop TODAY!. They are genetically set up for it!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Yes, i believe you're an alcoholic!.!.i drink a glass of red wine every night!. Red wine is full of antioxidant and prevents the risk of heart attack!. So maybe you should switch to wine instead of Rum!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
