Being Normal

Sorry Tara, I think we all wish that here.
Most of us are unable to drink normally.
Have you tried going for a period of abstinence, long enough to give your body and mind a chance to recover, then maybe you can moderate after that. But by all accounts, moderating is much harder than going AF.
You might even find that you are happier AF...
Stick around and keep posting, it will help you get this under control

T1, as starting said, a lot of us wish to be normal, but we aren't and that's why we're here. We have an alcoholic mind and one is never enough. I can't even imagine having one drink, at least not in a day, maybe at lunch that would be fine, but not for the rest of the evening.

Try doing some reading on AL and you will see. I've been doing a lot of reading and realizing how we(alcoholics) have a different brain chemistry when it comes to AL.

Tara I am sorry that you are feeling this way. You have been given some great advice and I agree with it wholeheartedly. When it comes to alcohol, normal just seems to go out the window for some of us and it will always be that way. I feel your pain hon, as have all of us here. Keep posting and reading. YOU are worth everything and YOU will discover this. I look forward to knowing you.

I want to quit. But every time I turn around I want a drink. I have only been drinking since New Years Eve of this year. Course I have alcoholics in this family and I consider drinking a sin but yet I do it anyways. Why do I do it? I want to quit, God wants me to quit. But why am I this addicted when I haven't been drinking for this long. I feel like a failure in this.
