Anybody else an alcoholic?

[ROFL_GUY]

I just wanna give a big shout out to everybody that shared their stories/struggles in this thread, while I get down I never considered myself an alcoholic I guess I am...

I probably drink 2 tall boys(Yueling, Steel Reserve, etc) with 2 shots at least 3 times a week plus with weed or dabbing....

Your not an alcoholic my man

You good

Perspective

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2014/09/25/think-you-drink-a-lot-this-chart-will-tell-you/

The top 10 percent of American drinkers - 24 million adults over age 18 - consume, on average, 74 alcoholic drinks per week. That works out to a little more than four-and-a-half 750 ml bottles of Jack Daniels, 18 bottles of wine, or three 24-can cases of beer. In one week.

Coming up on 4 yrs since ive drank alcohol. Had a really bad situation with my kids and family to realize I needed help. Alcohol is a drug - and I used it to numb psychological issues from being locked up at a young age, abandonment, and just not being happy with myself overall. I was bitter & angry because i thought i was a failure by life standards and a victim of circumstances. Losing my family was not an option so I stopped drinking.

Some years later now I am in a much better place mentally & physically. The consideration of will I ever drink again comes up every once in a while in my head. But when I look at what I have achieved for myself and family in the years and blessings overall it just doesn't seem wise. You get an elevated conscious and start looking at all the toxicity that exists and the vices that were led towards I just can't do it - fukk alcohol

Cali Sober all the way

Finally getting control of things, only because I'm poor at the moment.

Have gone through withdrawal 5-6 times now, experienced everything except for seizures luckily.

Been off the nicotine for about a month, drinking keeps me hooked on that shyt too
