How many of you are actually Alcoholics?!

if you're in recovery, let me ask you a question....

are you asking this so you can justify your own social drinking?

i do get dependent on alcohol sometimes to socialize with people

---

I suppose it depends on your definition. I drink almost daily, but generally not so much as is considered unhealthy - 2 or 3 drinks.

---

By definition I am an alcoholic. If I have one I usually want 2 or 3 more. In social situations with others I drink and we usually all get a good buzz going. I love weddings as the booze is free flowing. I like a glass of wine or two each night with dinner. We usually don't go to any social event unless beverages are present. I blacked out plenty of times at university. I have had the hair of the dog more than a few times. Like I say by definition I am.

I drink a glass of wine everyday because I love wine and it helps my health, but I hate getting drunk.

I wish you luck with your recovery!

I should not even be reading words like wine or beer. I am trying to quit, have only been sober for 40 days, the longest in 8 years.

I also have been afraid to check my liver, I fear the worst. I quit only for health reasons, even though it has destroyed many aspects of my life, including financially.
