Middle aged social drinker with no problems until about 3 years ago. Started having occasional binges. Missing more and more time from work due to hangover. 7 days this year. But I don't drink all the time. So well meaning friends family tell me I'm not an alcoholic and to just not go overboard. But I can't control myself. There's no such thing as 1 beer, glass or shot for me. And I'm not reremembering what I do when I'm drunk. So maybe it's only 7 times a year or so....but it's affecting my life and I'm losing valuable vacation days ,which I should be using to enjoy my life, to nursing my hangovers. So no matter what anyone tells me I AM AN ALCOHOLIC. Am too hung over for a meeting today so will go tomorrow. I am sick of being sick and hating myself. Glad I found this forum.
