Am in an alcoholic ?

[Anonymous]

I can’t drink just one so I don’t drink often. Any time I drink I intend to get drunk but often stop at 2 drinks just because I don’t feel well. If I get drunk I get bad hangovers, gastro issues and feel horrible for like three days .

No an alcoholic is dependent on alcohol.

You are an alcohol abuser.

i think you know that you are not an alcoholic. You probably have a gene that you cannot metabolize alcohol and sounds like you never developed a healthy relationship with it. but alcoholic no.

What about them? There's no need to apply some silly label to everything, despite what the NA crowd may say.

All of these people are people with substance use disorders, active or otherwise.

No, we all don’t.

OP, read Quit like a woman. It will help explain what’s going on.

Yes. If you identify as an alcoholic, you are one. You can be whatever you want to be.

“I can’t drink just one.”

The inability to predict/set in advance the amount one will drink and stick to it is a classic hallmark of alcoholism.

That you attempt to continue to drink after multiple bad experiences is another indicator.

That you question whether you have a problem is a third incubator.

AA gets a lot of hate on DCUM but it’s free and a few meetings might prove informative.
