Addiction advice thread

I know that the first step is to admit that you have an addiction. Does 2 bottles of alcohol per week make me an addict? Since November I have been drunk every night but I feel great during the day. I don't bother anyone while drunk and only start drinking when the family is asleep.

Hi @The_Donkey

I drink because I get bored while WFH and the house is dead quiet with kids at school and wife at work and because it makes my work appear to be more interesting.

So voetsek!

May not make you an addict just yet but you are on the slippery slope. That amount a week is 4 doubles every day. And where is it going from here, a few rough days and it's bumped up to 6 doubles a day.

Think what the liquor is doing to your liver and all the mixers to the rest of your system, it's the day in day out drinking that starts to add up. It's early days now but wait 2yrs after 2 bottles a week.

Better to examine why you started drinking, there's always a reason that's pushing you.

My dude. You created a profile to resurrect a thread that's been dead for 4 years. That's a cry for help if I've ever seen one. We don't need to convince you that there's a problem. You already know. Go see someone. And good luck, you're counting on you!
