  • Yeah, I’m aware of these. I was speaking of the big boxes, not the ones like this.

    I just hope that OP doesn’t go down the same ruinous path that I did. Compared to where I was in my fifteen year journey with Alcohol Use Disorder, I was at about year four. Where I would drink in order to relax and be able to socialize with others.

    An over reliance on a substance to ease a social situation (no matter the reason), is a potential crossroads that can lead further down the path of abusing said substance.




  • This is good, I’m glad you eased tensions with them. May I ask how much you drink on a daily basis? Only if you desire to share.

    The reason why I’m being so persistent with this is because when I started voicing concerns to my “friends” about my alcohol consumption (when I still had something of a handle on it), they said “nah, you’re fine.” They just wanted someone to party with, they didn’t want to deal with my concerns.

    Now that I’m on the other side of alcoholism, I just want to be that voice for someone else, because it looks like you’re asking the same question in a roundabout way.

    “Am I drinking too much?” is you warning yourself and seeking help, at least in my experience. Even if you don’t share how much you’re having, if you’re feeling concerned about it, please talk with someone in person who you know cares, and will take your concerns seriously.
