We have watched you struggle here on the forum with issues that are the result of alcohol. I think it's real important to admit to yourself that you do, indeed, have a problem. And really mean it when you look in the mirror.
What you tell others doesn't matter when you come right down to it if you are real with yourself.
A little nugget...if alcohol causes problems in your life, you have a drinking problem.
Go back and read some of your posts...there's a pattern.
I appreciate your engaging so thoroughly with this thread AWTY, so ta. I totally acknowledge that I posted a LOT of dumb stuff here and many other places when inebriated, no denial on that count. I feel differently about my sobriety to what Boru said however: I don't miss alcohol every day or anything like that...not yet, anyway, although it is relatively early days for me, granted.
It's like I was struggling with a difficult maths problem I've only recently solved, to draw a simile....and the result/answer is the same forever more and whenever I run the numbers: on balance, I do not want a drink. There is no "missing" drinking - the outcome of the equation is final: 2 + 2 = 4 and that outcome doesn't change.
