Re: alcohol problem
55% here.
I'm embarrassed to admit that I definitely have a problem and find it incredibly difficult not to drink in an evening. I get overwhelming cravings for alcohol. It's something that has gradually developed over the years of self-medicating with booze to escape other demons. My tolerance for red wine is astounding and I rarely get hangovers. I never drink in the day, but my evening habit is now completely out of control.
My doctor has told me to try to cut down gradually and not to stop suddenly, which is dangerous at my levels. This will be a challenge because when I start drinking, the cravings for more are stronger than if I'd not opened a bottle. I hate alcohol and want to reach a point this year where I'll never touch another drop of the evil stuff, but it's going to be a long, hard fight.
