How do you know you are an alcoholic?

How do you know if you're in alcoholic?

  • I'm not sure if I am an alcoholic? I just drank tonight by myself just because I wanted too. Two times I found myself drinking because I was upset. My mind would instantly think drink if I was upset. Although I only acted on it twice. I did drink more than usual last week because I was on vacation, but I never drink that much usually. From that, I don't know if you can determine if I am an alcoholic. More importantly, I don't know of any help I can get for free or help in general. I could bring this up when I see my counselor again. My mom brought up that word and thinks I am. What help or advice can you offer me? Do you think I need to talk to God about it?

You can know by being evaluated by a professional who makes such assessments. That said, if you feel you clearly have an addiction to alcohol, it's probably clear you are.

You aren't an alcoholic. Alcoholism interferes with one's daily life. Drinking alcohol becomes the most important thing in your life.

How about this. Get drunk, then talk to God about it. You'll hear him louder, trust me.

Having the urge to drink when you are upset is not good. Alcohol does not solve problems just postpones them. Try putting down the booze for two weeks and looking at the world without it's distortion. If you can't then you have a problem. You can either choose your responses to situations or have others choose them for you. You have been programed to respond to stimulus in certain ways by parents, siblings,and piers. It is when you "Choose" your res ponce that you start taking control of your life. God will not put the cork in the bottle nor hold you hand every time you stumble. He has given you the ability to chose your actions though and also the obligation to take responsibility too.
