On that list, the reasons for me was social customs, wanted to check out and stress reliever. I am an Alcoholic and for a long time not only could I not remember how to spell Alcoholic, but I didn’t think I was one. I never had anyone express their concern for my drinking and when I tried to make sense out of it, my friends or family didn’t think I had a problem.
I was on a mission for truth and to make sense of it. I finally got real with myself and admitted that I do have a problem. After much trial and error trying to moderate my drinking. I once read a book quickly in a book store regarding drinking problem and it said that it’s not about the frequency in which you drink. Its like when you eat, you eat enough and you are full, you can’t have anymore. When you have a problem with alcoholism, you don’t get full, you can keep going and going until you blackout.
