True alcoholics have a disease, not just a bad habit they can’t control. A real alcoholic should abstain completely so their body doesn’t chemically react with the alcohol starting that downward spiraling addiction again.
I don`t know what starts it but alcoholics have a disease.If you are a smoker or have been, have you stoped for a while and then thought you would have just one? Dosn`t work. Before long you are smoking the same amount as you were before you started!
I’m an alcoholic and I can never drink again. Moderation just doesn’t work. I can tell myself, “I’ll only have 2 drinks” and next thing you know I’ve had 8 or 10 and I’m going home with some strange guy I just met. I’ll wake up the next day and wonder why the hell I did that. Once I start I really can’t stop. The obsession is that bad. I suppose it’s a disease, if you want to call it that. It’s definitely some sort of disorder.
What you’re talking about is called ‘controlled drinking’. Many alcoholics have tried that, including myself, and it’s torture. Counting your drinks, panicking when you know you’ve reached the limit for the night, crying or getting violently angry that you need to stop and go home or try to go to sleep. It just doesn’t work.

No.
the sign of being an alcoholic is the inability of enjoying alcohol moderately. So no.
Don’t quit drinking. Nobody likes a quitter.

Nope………”One is too many, and a thousand is never enough.” And I didn’t drink hard liquor……”only” beer.
