Any alcoholics in here? How did you know you had a problem and how did you get help? Is it hard living with this condition?

Its like a craving kinda thing, things go wrong u drink, things go right u drink, bored drink, having fun drink, it becomes incorparated into every aspect of your life. Went to rehab, had people i could trust to support me. Think of it like this, drugs, you can stay away from, alcohol is everywhere you go. Stop by a store to get gas, go into get a drink, and you gotta walk by the beer. Go to a nice resturant, there's a good chance your gonna be in eye sight of the bar. Its constantly tempting, but the longer u resist your urge, the easier it gets

Do you keep waking up in the wrong country? When you find yourself chugging booze for breakfast daily just to feel better, you have a tinsey bit of a problem. Living with it it easy, it's just not very long! You have to recognize the problem for yourself & be honest about it. After you've accepted that, there are many ways you can go: AA, group therapy,Rehab clinics, certain medications. The main point being, you can overcome anything if you truly want to do so & if you aren't ready, nothing in this world will make you quit.

If you are asking yourself if you have a problem with alcohol the chances are that you do. took me years to admit that I had a problem because I didnt want to admit it and I really enjoyed drinking. It was only after the consequences of drinking became more than the benefits was I willing to aadmit it and seek the help I need. If you wish to discuss it further then email me.

I have a relative who is alcoholic - - basically each day they
say they will not drink, only to drink again.
Alcoholics anonymous-also has a web site, it is easy to
determine the criteria.
Also, it is not hard to live with the condition IF the person
gets treatment and goes to AA.
good luck

is it hard? no, you get to get drunk everyday...
You obviously know you have a problem when you need you're whiskey/vodka or beer everyday.. LOL and you know you're an alcohol when you want to drink as soon as you get up. Unless you're at a 48 hour party.
Im not an alcoholic but this is just what I figure.

If consuming alcohol affects your life negatively in any way, you may have a problem. Meaning affects your relationships, your education or career, your health, your temperament, etc. If so, its time to go talk to someone professional.

The number one question for determining alcoholism is whether you think you have a problem. If you suspect you do, then you do.

Do you find yourself needing a drink during a stressful situation?
Do you find you want a drink with your lunch?
Do you wake up wanting to drink?
Do you spend a lot of time thinking about drinking?
In social situations, do you feel awkward without a drink?
Do you normally drink every day?
It's quite simple really, if you feel you can't get along without drinking, than your a boozer.

I agree that if you think you have a problem you probably do.
