Alcoholism is the continued consumption of alcoholic beverages, even when it is negatively affecting your health, work, relationships and life.

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...
I have started my jounal today so im hoping that writing it all down ach day helps to keep me away from the bottle.I would like to add u as a friend if thats okx
Knowing that you are not alone is great. It's now what do you want to do about it.

Great that you want something to change. Good luck on your quest to sobriety.

As far as being a drunk went, I had it made. No rent, free booze, cable, internet, oh, and did I say, free booze.
I became a 24 hour a day drinker, if I was awake I was drinking. I was locked in a room for 2 years this way.
My landlord/friend was a hard drinker too and he became increasingly abusive, more so when he'd get really loaded. I put up with it though. Free booze. I finally came to the conclusion that if something didn't change I would die like that.
No one gave a shit if I drank or not. I had lost everything, I thought.
I realized I had lost my integrity and I couldn't stand myself anymore. I drank and cried for 2 days. Before I went to sleep that night, I did something I never have done before. I got on my knees and asked the powers that be for help. I asked to wake up and not need to drink.
I haven't had or wanted a drink since. Not that my life is completely managable, wouldn't want to get too well. I'd be bored, but the things I have to do and deal with, I do sober. As a result, I am for the first time in my miserable existance trying to take care of myself. I got a job and am looking for my little dream home.
I guess the point I'm trying to make is, how bad do you really want to be sober?
This isn't an AA community, but I do suggest trying AA. Nobody understands a drunk better than another drunk, and I think we need live interaction as well as internet support. I'm glad you're here and I'm glad you want to be sober.

Read the big book of alcoholics anonymous - all the answers to your questions will be in there. It will help you ascertain whether you are an alcoholic or not too. Only you can decide that. It could be that you are suffering from clinical depression and you are not necessarily a slave to the booze. You seem to be using the drink as an aid to fix certain emotions in you and that isn't sounding too good to me though...
Here's the big book online and please come to our chatroom:

Mourning is a natural process, or it should be unless we numb that process with Alcohol.
So really on this occasion, there was no excuse, except you made it one.
It seems as though you like excuses, perhaps it takes the blame away from you and maybe detracts from the point that you may be an alcoholic or that you have a severe drink problem.
Your asking for advice, advice for what Occasions, excuses or drinking ??????? Lol
Of course I can give advice and had you asked me before the occasion, my advice would have been not to drink, as there was truly no reason.
However your asking for advice after the occasion, so my advice is different, its still stop drinking but also get some help because it seems as though you may need it.
Its all as simple as that really
