Hi, I am looking for some support on whether anybody has ever invented addictions. The fact is that I don't like drinking alcohol and I hate how it makes me feel yet I still drink. I don't know if that qualifies me for having an addiction.
I feel like I have a major compulsion towards alcohol though and that's unhealthy, I know. I guess I'm just looking for some advice on how to deal with not drinking alcohol. Sometimes I just cannot bear it and I drink. But I feel like my soul dies a little bit every time I drink (I don't know if that's the best imagery ever). I also feel like an impostor going to AA meetings though I have gone to them before. I don't know if I should feel that way or not going there. I am a confused person these days! |

AA is not for everyone but has helped many. I gained a friend going there a couple of times.....am not religious so AA does not work for me.

If you do not want to drink yet do so anyway then its time to look at whether you are an alcoholic.
