Question by Missy: Do you think I am an alcoholic?
I live in England and am 21, I’ve been drinking since I hit 17… I can’t count how many drinks I’ve had since my first, I really don’t want to count. I won’t write my life story, but its not been easy. My dad left when I was young (I found out that he was an alcoholic) I’ve been abused and bullied suffered things that noone should as a kid. But I’ve always been a together person, since I have been going out drinking and partying I’ve made more friends then ever before, There’s not one night I go out when no body knows me. I feel confident and on top of the world. But that is not me, thats the me that comes out 2/3 nights a week after several drinks, thats the me that is starting to mince my words and having trouble remember faces and names. I get myself into stupid situations, I just want to stop. But I can’t I crave the way alcohol makes me feel, how it makes me invincible. I feel that two days of not drinking for me is an accomplishment, it shouldn’t be like this. I’m loosing my dignity and everything but feel like I’m gaining so much socially. Sorry. Ah. I just don’t know what to do. I don’t get withdrawl symptoms, So technically I’m not an alcoholic? right? am I?

Answer by Prodigy94
Your not quite an alcoholic but your well on your way to being one. Just cut it down to about 2-3 beers a night and get some coke and make caffine a replacement. If you go 2 weeks without alcohol and u feel like u cannot function properly without it, consider getting help. It will be okay, life is about obstacles, you seem like a brave person, and I bet you could overcome this.
