How do I know if i'm an alcoholic?!
Answers:
If you suspect you are, then that's your answer!. Admitting and accepting it is the first painful step in the road tor recovery!. Just remember - there is no such thing as an ex-alcoholic any more than there's such a thing as an ex-Marine!. Once a Marine, always a Marine, and once an alcoholic, always an alcoholic!. I have a dear and valued friend who hasn't touched a drop in six years!. He says "I'm an alcoholic, and I've been dry for six years!." Or he'll say "I'm a recovering (never says "recovered") alcoholic!." That way, he has possession of his addiction; it no longer possesses him!.
There are several worthwhile programs out there that can help - you're probably most aware of Alcoholics Anonymous!. If their heavy emphasis on religious faith is not for you, there are programs that don't do that!. Check with your county office of mental health about how to get in touch with such groups and programs!. That's painful step number two - admitting to others that you have a problem!. Step number three is the hardest of all - making that first visit to the group or program of your choice!.
Good luck!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

If you cannot stop after your first drink!.
You find yourself drinking at times that are inappropriate!.
You obsess of it and can't wait to get your next drink!.
And obviously there are others, but those are key!.
Mainly, inability to maintain control over your drinking should be key!.
Asking the question doesn't make you an alcoholic, your lifestyle might though!. If you are not and you drink to excess all the time, you are probably studying hard to become an alcoholic!.
Hope this helped!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

If you have drank to the point of doing something that did or could have gotten you into trouble of some sort, MORE THAN ONCE!. Being discovered is not an issue and the same action doesn't have to be repeated!. Some examples: driving drunk, getting home and your car's in the driveway and you don't know how you/it got home, pinching your Boss's wife on the tush at the Christmas party, getting injured while drunk, getting thrown out of bars/restaurants/parties for being drunk, endangering your family in any way, being told you drink to much, drinking to the point that you can not take care of your well being, and most important, if you suspect you are alcoholic, you probably are!. If alcoholism is an issue in your family or if you are in a culture where alcoholism flourishes (Irish, Mexican, American Indian, etc!.) get yourself together and visit AA for more info!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
If you have gotten in trouble for it, and you lie about it, and you allow it to interfere with your responsibilities, then you probably have a problem!. A good hint is when you think about what you don't do (I don't drink alone, I don't drink every day, I don't drink and drive, I don't drink the hard stuff, I don't drink as much as that other guy) instead of thinking about what you DO do (I am late for work because of it, I lie about it, I hide it) , then you might have a problem!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
