Hi.im new here.im not sure if im an alcoholic but i DO want to stop drinking though.Ok so this is me…i never crave a drink,i normally have a drink once a month or every second month.my problem is,when i have a drink i dont plan to get waisted but for some reason i end up waisted anyway.its like i dont know when to stop,i dont know when i had enough.the plan is to just have a drink "socially " but when i start then the only way im gona stop is when i pass out.Nb.not everytime i drink though,sometimes i do stop before i get waisted…WHAT’S WRONG WITH ME?

Its called binge drinking.Thats the type of drinker I am. I never did it every single day especially if I was working out. I guess Ive always been that type of drinker and over the years it got worse.
Its a very dangerous way to live. People die from drinking too much all the time. Id say give sobriety a shot

Theres a first time for everything. I woke up one morning and decided to get sober after years and years of binge drinking. It gets tiring when you are always waking up not even remembering half the night, knowing you embarassed yourself and very very hungover.
I went on youtube and watched alot of videos on how people did it cause I had no idea what getting sober was even like.I also read a blog a woman wrote about her first 100 days sober.She never said she was an alcoholic but she did say that it was something she wanted to try.She finished her 100 days and then did 100 more so 200 days and after being able to travel she decided staying sober was the type of life she rather live. Her blog inspired me to try to get 100 days sober. Im 95 days sober today. Im not sure where my journey is going but I will say you learn ALOT about yourself when you start opening the doors to new ways of living.
Give yourself the challenge of sobriety, give yourself the chance to learn more about yourself.

If you’re asking the question then you probably are. You don’t have to drink everyday to be an alcoholic. See what happens when you try and stop drinking and stay stopped. Go to an aa meeting and listen to what alcoholics have to say about their drinking, maybe you might find some similarities

Same here, I really don’t see why anyone would have a problem with it if they are serious about stopping drinking and staying stopped as it saves lives.

I personally don’t think you are an alcoholic, but it feels like you have the tendency to become one the way you drink. Ultimately I think your right in that you feel like you have an issue, and I think it’s awesome you recognize that.
I agree with the above mentioned, you’re a binge drinker and an alcohol abuser. But again, it sounds like you could easily go off the deep end.
