At what point would you consider yourself a drunk?

Drunk or an Alcoholic? Ther's a difference as Alcoholics have to go to meetings

Honestly though, when you've reached the point in my life when you get up in the morning WAY too early, drink 3 cups of coffee to wake up, then have a couple beers to come down...you/I could be either!

When the doctor tells you that if you keep drinking, you're going to get a bleeding ulcer.

hi gonzo57,

It reminds me a lot of bad days, even though I have not stopped drinking today.

After a very difficult break I started drinking alone.

Unable to continue my studies, no relationship with the girls, it was really hard but I hated so much my last girlfriend that I just don't care to look like an alcoholic, it gave me some reasons to be drunk from morning to evening.

Even today it is a disease and I understand your problem, Only the will and work help a lot (this is only my opinion).

By the way how you going now ?

Regards.

the moment you ask yourself the question.

Most people are in denial about their drinking.

I had a bad abdominal surgery in early November and haven't had a drink since the night before. I knew the surgery was going to happen for a few months before it and was worried if I could go without my beer since I've been drinking two or three beers a night for quite a few years, but it hasn't bothered me a bit. At this point I could go back to drinking if I wanted, but I've chosen not to.

Gonzo, I had a simular problem. It was not until after I stopped I had a chance to have real companionship. I always had a girlfriend usually a stripper. With strippers nothing is real so it did not matter. You are the only one that can help your situation. But I now that when I started enjoying my own company is when I started being attractive to the kind of companion I wanted to be with more than being alone.

Good luck.

When I start replying to threads about sobriety on porn forums...

Well, I'm still trying to figure out how to love myself, something I'm having a harder and harder time doing.

Just much easier to find peace in at the bottom of a bottle than having to endure watching everyone I know and those around me happily going about their way with some else.
