Alcoholism Support Group
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.
Hey everyone, its Joey!
You may have seen my last blog 19 days ago asking if anyone knew I was an alcoholic (http://www.dailystrength.org/c/Alcoholism/forum/18867669-am-i-alcoholic)...Im still unsure about whether I am or not.
Anyway I just wanted to share my experience so far, I decided I wanted to stay sober for 50 days and then see if I can drink normally. I found myself craving red wine in the first 7 days of my challenge but after that I felt it getting easier however the last 3 or 4 days I have started to feel myself finding it just as hard as the first week and feeling as if I might break soon but Im trying not to go back to that just yet as I have just a few weeks until I complete my college course and I dont want to be hungover everyday again.
Anyway is it normal to find it just as hard (again) on Day 21 as it was in the begining?
Thanks for listening

I tried a glass of wine, got the worst hangover of my life and decided that my body was supporting the idea of quitting for good...before I slid down the dangerous slope anymore than I already had (blackouts, stupid things)
Anyway, no one needs alcohol to live- it isn't like oxygen...so if 50 days is what you want? go for it...then the next time try 6 months or a year. see how your life has changed. Then, maybe like me, you will stay quit- because we are better without it. Am I an alcoholic? I believe I could be...my son says No...but I am the one with the problem.
