Alcoholism is the continued consumption of alcoholic beverages, even when it is negatively affecting your health, work, relationships and life. If you think alcohol is causing you to lose control, it's time to seek help. Our group is a safe place to vent, check in, get back up if you fall, and reach sobriety.

I think I might be a bit dependant on alcohol to make things better. I drink every second night, I tried to limit my drinking to only the weekend but I couldnt do it. Its not that I need to drink but I want to drink so badly. Everything is better when I m drunk. What is the difference between an alcoholic and a person that drinks because they want to?? Or is it just the same thing?

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
Only you can diagnose yourself, but the very interesting and compelling part of your share is where you said you tried to limit your drinking to only the week-end, AND YOU COULDN'T DO IT....
I've had this in common with you and I am a recovering alcoholic.
Something for you to think about....
P.S. Not all AA meetings are the same, I didn't like them at first, but went to different ones and now I can't keep going without them. I have met very good caring friends there. Take care!

We don't diagnose, we each have to come to our own conclusion that we need help. The only requirement for AA membership is a desire to stop drinking. You could go to an open speaker meeting and just listen, you could go to any open meeting to listen. In the closed meetings you have to be willing to say that you're an alcoholic.
In my experience, people don't generally question their drinking habits unless they have a good reason to question them. I wish you the best, whatever you decide to do.
