I get really confused when it comes to knowing if I'm an 'alcoholic' or not. I have been alcohol dependent in the past and I have had afew detoxes when I've ended up in psychiatric hospital.

BUT I don't drink much! On average a bottle of wine and a couple of lagers and maybe a littke bit of vodka, but not every night, a night! At the moment I don't get cravings in morning- tho I have just come off a light detox. I was 10 days sober- and really struggled at this- then this weekend it's been my partner's b'day and my son's b'day!

Tho actually it was a difficult DBT session that resulted in my drinking 3 double vodkas in an hour. I didn't think this was bad.

I know this might sound silly but I don't actually know if I do have a problem!! You see- I am not drinking a bottle of vodka a day! Tonight it was a friend's bday- I've had ...not sure exactly but approx 7 or 8 glasses of wine plus 2 pints of lager. I don't feel drunk.

It has taken me a lot of guts (or alcohol) to write on this site.

My LFT is 267 I think. My doc is on about sending me to liver specialist. I'm just really confused coz I don't think I drink a lot. Everybody seems to drink!!! So why should I stop??? I don't drink alot! I don't think I'm an alcoholic!! I'm confused! Why should I stop? I've been under my alcohol worker for over a year. then just restarted with her.

I detoxed from hospital for 10 days but started again! #i feel so ashamed!! But then part of me wants to carry on but small part wants to stop!! Aaaah help! Sorry!! sorry to rabit on!!! Any advice completely appreciated!! help!!! x
