Hi
I want to see if anyone might be able to give me some insight into what they think may be a factor in my recent behaviors regarding alchole. I've had issues in the past, before kids, with over drinking and I've been in my fair share of trouble because of it. I have been away from that lifestyle for a good four year, if not more and this past summer I started casually drinking. Well it has quickly gone from casual to outright abuse. My mind tells me I'm lacking something and using the alchole as an outlet but I am having trouble figuring out what it is I need or want that is cause me to behave this way. I don't have room for this nonsense in my life and who needs the hangover or guilt associated with drinking. I so frustrated with myself and I was thinking if I got some other opinions I might be able to put some pieces together and get myself out of this way before it gets out of hand again. I love my kids and family more than anything and I can't stand to think that my behaviors could hurt them ever .
Plain and simple, you are an alcoholic, even if you don't drink for months and then go back to it you are an acloholic. Anytime you feel it fills a foid or is something you need in your life you are an alcoholic. My father was an alcoholic my entire life and didn'get sober until I was 23 years old.
If you do love your kids you will check yourself into a rehab to quit drinking and stay off the alcohol for the rest of your life. Otherwise dooner or later you are going to lose your kids, they will walk away from you and let you wind up in the gutter where you are headed.

You just may be an alcoholic. That doesn't mean your doomed though. Get into a program, an AA meeting. Are you able, at this point, to just stop, to not drink at all? You need to be strong, stronger than the addiction, your love for your kids is stronger than the urge to drink. Take control and don't let yourself go down that road.

Go to AA. You know the answer to your question or you would not be asking. We don't need to tell you that you need to stop. You already know that. Do it now before you and everyone around you suffers more. It does hurt those around you. You owe it to them to get help. God bless you. You can do this!
You need to go to AA and stay away from the liquor. It is very easy for an alcoholic to fall back into drinking, even after years of being sober.
Even if you don't classify yourself as an alcoholic, your drinking is causing you distress, so its a problem. You need treatment, whether it be AA or counselling or both. Yes, you are probably anesthesizing yourself, and counselling maybe part of finding out why, but you still need the support of AA to stay clean.
I would go to AA. I would not continue to drink. Best wishes to you
