Hello,
I am not sure whether or not I have a problem. I have noticed that when I do not want to drink, I just don't, but it does not last long. I am unsure if I need help or not, but have noticed lately that I drink pretty much everyday. I am not sure that is normal. Although I do not get drunk, I realize that staying at home alone and drinking while watching television may mean that I have a problem. I have had a few big changes that have gone on in my life and can only figure that I have not yet dealt with those things (finding out that my father is not my biological father, moving to another job in another city, losing a boyfriend of five years). Sometimes, I just think that I pity myself and drink because it is easier than dealing with my problems. I am not sure. I am a professional and do not let drinking get in the way of my career, but something is telling me that I need to quit, or take heed to the fact that I could be going down the wrong path. I have been drinking since I was 15, but started drinking heavily when I went to college ( partying and such). I definitely have had times where I have been drunk and made stupid decisions, but that part of my life has been over for some time, although when I do hang out, I can drink with the best of them still. I now just stay at home and drink wine or make margaritas. I am 29 years old and thought that I had my life under control, but realize that every night I drink. For some reason that fact all of a sudden scares me. I don't know, but I thought that this would be a good way to start and maybe talk to some people who might understand. Thanks for lisitening, well....reading
