People have said that I am an alcoholic. I have lost many friends. Been arrested about 7 times due to alcohol related incidents. None of them DUI. I was kicked out of a fraternity becuase of an arrest. I have had a really tough life in the past five years. I started drinking at age 18 and since continued binging all through out those years. I did graduate college and usually was completely sober Sunday-Thursday and a couple of weekend nights per semester. The last three years has been lonely and sad. I have been living with myself on my own and still binging. I did cut back significantly in the past four years. Now I am drinking on average a 12 pack a week and always have the desire to binge. It has been about two weeks since the last binge and on average I drink two beers a night. If I binge again my next day will be ruined. The week will be ruined and my anxiety will peak back sometimes to the point where I don't want to leave the house. I know where I stand right now. Going to AA meetings and seeing a therapist helped out although i was still drinking. I told the therapist a couple of months ago that I usually binge once a week and trying to do it only once every week and a half. It was helped but not a lot. What a waste for just that binge. I quess thats the life on a binge cycle alcolic. You go back to the whole you started the day after you binge. Furtunately I can still drink in moderation which is what I usually do most days of the week...taking 2 sober days. Its now two weeks and I really want to know what its like getting to a month. I think the longest I went without a binge is two and a half weeks. On celebrity rehab Dr Drew said to a Patient the binge cycle alcoholics sobreity is a mechanism for start again, then do the same in the next week. It sucks and I know that I have a long way to go in my sobriety... NO BINGING. Please.... Just make it another 2 more weeks. Its funny. People have said that I am an alcoholic.
