i’ve been in a dilemma recently, i don’t think i’m an alcoholic but i feel like all of them say that at first. i was raised around alcoholics and addicts my whole life so i just immediately assume that since im not as bad as them, than i am not one.

my thought process is no physical addiction = not a problem, and i also feel confused about it because im only 18.

i drink probably 4 days out of the week, i cant go a week without drinking but im not physically addicted. everytime i drink my minimum is 6 drinks, but its usually closer to 8-12 and ive blacked out dozens of times and made a complete fool out of myself even more times.

i still get hungover just about everytime, i can go days without drinking i just hate it, and ive been asked to stop drinking because of my blackouts several times.

my friend said today that drinking is “just part of my personality” and i didn’t realize that’s how i was seen. it was a bit upsetting to hear.
