You do not have to follow me as far as I went down the path of darkness. You can stop any time with some help. A judge tried to help me when I was 18. But I was a man and full of pride. I was not going to hear the word alcoholic, much less be one. I never ever asked my self back them am I alcoholic. If you are anything like I was then and some times think now, you will need help. I stopped drinking every morning thinking I could quit forever and was drunk every day by 5o'clock no mater how hard I tried to stop. Being an alcoholic sneaks up on you, the same as our recovery. It does it one day at a time. One day we are fine and a year later we don't know what happened.

Trouble just seems to follow us. Work is not going well at all, that is if we work at all. Our family is telling us to stop drinking and saying things like why doesn't he just quit drinking alcohol. Our friends are dropping off one at a time. They are not hanging out with us like they use to. Our wife or girl friend does not seem to be as close.. most of all I have a hard time liking my self. We might even be getting in trouble with the law and going to jail for short stays. We seem to have less and less money on hand to pay bills.

All and all it is getting to be the pits. One thing after the other, they are all adding up to something. But I don't know what it is. Am I alcoholic, do I drink too much. The sooner you ask the question the better. If you are not alcoholic, just quit for a year and get your life back together. Most can't just quit. If you are a normal drinker you can just quit. Believe me I have studied these normal drinkers and they do just quit.

Then there is the health end of all this. How is your liver holding up. Is a little pain turning in to a little ball. Some times this happens....how about those little black outs? Are we just forgetting or is it loss of memory. I know what mine was. Mine was not bad. I would only loose 5 hours a night and some times a Saturday or Sunday because I started drinking earlier in the day.

I couldn't be an alcoholic I didn't drink at work. Have you ever heard that excuse before?. You would think after all of this, I would ask my self am I alcoholic. but I didn't.

If you think you may be alcoholic.....go to the library or to a AA meeting and get a big book. It is only $6.00 and read the first 164 pages. It may save your life.
