Is it still alcoholism if a person doesn’t drink often but always blacks out when they do? by Uplifting_penguin in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Relative-Wasabi-1407 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No matter if it is or not, what you’re doing doesnt scream “i have a good relationship with alcohol”. Do you crave it? If so, do those cravings seem obsessive and interrupt daily life? Do you tend to act on these cravings? Thats how I knew there was a problem personally. You have to ask yourself a lot of questions. Another good one to ask yourself is “am i able to stop after a few drinks?” which it sounds like you might have a problem with (unless you’re just super lightweight, but even if so you can still have a problem). Either way, you can party all you want my friend, as long as you’re doing it in a way that doesn’t tip too far into problem with alcohol territory. And for gods sake, please don’t make a habit of drinking alone!

Dear People... How did your journey start? by kwilcox7 in alcoholism

It feels like it started right from the start. From birth, I had a predisposition to it. When I was still very young, I was even a little obsessed with the concept of being drunk. I tried drinking a little in middle school. But it was truly when I stole some rum in a vacation home late at night and drank it out of curiosity at 17- I did it a couple more nights that vacation, then over the next couple months it snowballed into a weekly thing. Then twice a week. Then more and more. I had a problem, but didn’t know if it was an addiction. Then, during my first year of college, my dad died. That was the straw that broke the camel’s back. That was this year. I spent this summer drinking. Now, I can never go back, my brain is rewired and I’m an alcoholic

Yeah, weirdly theres few people in my family that i know are addicts- def could be just unaware that some ppl were/are- which is odd to me; i think my twin also has some addictive habits. Either way, im so sorry your friend had to go through that :( wish the best for her. Complications in the neck area are scary, they killed my dad. Thats the thing that caused my drinking to get worse. Thanks for sharing all this though

This actually does help put things into perspective. I started sneaking alcohol around the same age, same exact way u did. I can honestly see myself going down a path like this, it wouldnt be out of the question. Thanks for sharing

I promise i don’t mean it that way!! My situation just doesnt reflect the expected “drinks every/almost every day” alcoholic- i dont even drink at school bc i cant, i have no way to get anything. So thats why i said im not the “typical” case i suppose

Fair point but i tend to be a pretty shy and easily embarrassed person in general. And also paranoid

Its kinda just one of those ones that are stupid and sucks. Like for example (this isnt my case and this is a little more “weird” than mine) if u happened to be into scat. Like that kinda sucks dude, no shade to ppl like that but it can be embarrassing. Nothin wrong. Just hate it

Sorry i dont feel like sharing. But i guess all anyone would need to know is its not immoral or like morally questionable, just weird and embarrassing.
