I think alcoholism is an illness, missuse of alcohol is not.

As I've explored my past over the past 9 months, I've seen more and more examples of the impact it has had and my compulsion that has made it continue. I do not believe, I've said it before, that I will ever be able to have a drink again. Because it reacts in my body and causes me to do things. An illness.

I also abused it, but you see that every Friday and Saturday night, many of those people don't drink all week, and do so at weekends due to peer pressure. Many will end up having normal lives. Some will become addicts, another form of alcoholism.

I think I've probably confused myself now

Almac...what are you like!....

I am sure you will not be surprised to know that there are probably an awful lot more people than are known...to suffer from Asphergers Syndrown .......part of the spectrum that is autism....I've worked with one (I'm pretty sure and so were the social workers I worked with at the time)...I may take a look at this test...........I don't think I'll be too surprised....:o ...

I think it would be useful to take a test like this at different times such as when you are stressed/relaxed etc...

I know when I am stressed I go into checking/counting mode...:rolleyes: and when I am relaxed I get a bit blase about it all....still do it....but to a lesser degree....and compared to people who really suffer from OCD etc...I'm not even on their scale..but I notice it...

I think it's part of the coping mechanisms that we have sometimes...of no use to anyone and a complete time waster....but they serve a purpose...sometimes....

...With the higher being you mentioned being yourself. i thought there was no1 higher than me.......

I know I come across as being somewhat flippant at times....I am not....I do believe in a higher self/beings.....when I say that it is me...I am trying to tell myself to have faith in myself and no-one else...sometimes I think that that is the most important thing..at other times I think that obviously hasn't worked so try something else!:rolleyes: I try not to believe in any one god.....I prefer to take the best bits from most of them (i.e. the bits we humans haven't corrupted with violence and malouvanlence);)
