OK here is my thing:

If you are anorexic, or bulimic or have some kind of other problem with food, you can't just say oh i will never eat again....or you will starve to death.

So by default it must be possible to learn better habits with alcohol.

If you want to drink, drink

If you don't want to drink, don't

But i think the word 'alcoholic' is deceptive.

Why should anyone feel the need to never drink again if there is the slightlest possibility there might be another way?

What if someone has been sober for 23 years and decide to have 4 bacardi breezers, then they finish them then they want more?

What makes them a so called 'alcoholic'?

Would they put a brick through the spar shop window if it was shut?

Or would they get over it rapid?

I think it's a lot more complicated than assigning a label, for all of us.....

Not really, no. Not really read your posts, but I have no doubts that if I was to have a drink tonight, I would not stop tomorrow and it would be uncertain if I would ever stop. It wouldnt take me long to get back to daily drinking and I would risk my family, job and life I have rebuilt.

I am an alcoholic who can not drink succuesfully, I just need to remember that. Today has been trying but alcohol is not the answer to the problem that is me. My problems would only be tenfold in the morning.

Tomorrow, I will wake up fresh, aware of what I have done and not with head wreck and remorse, way better then being smashed
