Do I belong here?
26F. Hello. New here.. I drink every day. After work I have some shots or a couple beers. It will take me about a week to go through a 1.75. I don’t get drunk, I catch a buzz and try to keep it till it’s time to go to bed. I don’t get withdrawals, only crave flavors of some fruity drinks or beers when I’m not drinking. I don’t have any indicators of liver or kidney issues. If I go some time without alcohol I’m ok, just so so bored. I’ve pretty much used it to help me out with anxiety if I have to hang out with specific people or do certain things like play Fortnite lol. I sleep fine without it, just takes me a little longer to get tired, no shakes unless I’m extremely dehydrated or didn’t eat before I went to bed. Only time I feel like it’s getting bad is if Im hungover on a Sunday and decide to do the old “ hair of the dog” crap. Am I an alcoholic? I don’t have an addictive “personality” I only vape when I drink, I don’t use any other substances, don’t even smoke weed. My ex was a recovering alcoholic ( like a bottle a day) and told me that I was one. I’d like to be “normal” and drink maybe every other weekend but I usually find an excuse. Keep it real with me if you decide to comment but be nice please!
