What age were you when you discovered you had a problem?
if i am truly honest i probably realized when i was in my late 20's, although i didnt drink often, i knew i didnt have an off switch. though it was actually in my late 30's early 40's that i acknowledged that something serious was wrong. i too drank before an operation (the night before actually), which could have caused serious problems.
its interesting to read that people become 'a different person' in drink. my partner also has a name for 'the drunk me' as i behave so differently. i do sometimes wonder if its letting stuff out that i squash when im sober. i hate to argue and will always back down or say nothing if there is a confrontation. maybe it all comes out in a blast when my inhibitions are lowered. perhaps being more assertive and dealing with things in the here and now would help.
