I got sot sober when I was 21.

The thought and science has improved alot since back then, in 2006

alcoholic is technically a real term in the DSM4 or whatever, but there's so many variables and variations, it's better to use a term like AUD, alcohol use disorder.

and the idea that a lot of people who experience AUD can learn to temper their drinking and drinking in a better way, while a much smaller segment of drinkers are unable to drink at all, and are closer to those considered traditional alcoholics.

Plenty of people have horrible drinking issues, but say

"I work every day"

"I never black out"

"It never interferes with my job"

or whatever, but none of that negates the actual drinking problem.

I’m not tryna open up old wounds, but had you been drinking that day or did you get smashed the night before…also, how were you driving to make someone call the cops.
I think the school called the cops, his driving had nothing to do with it

I was doing ok, and boom I'm back to drinking everyday.

These constant little L's I've been taking have been taking a toll on me
Do you have any hobbies or other things that keep your mind occupied?
