Question by : I’ve been called one, and i’m curious. Is alcoholism real?
Hi, i drink yeah, and i’ve drunk quite a lot before writing this, but i always here alcoholism is just a made up problem. Whenever i have a little alcohol i need to drink pretty much til i pass out, and i actually crave it, i didn’t know craving alcohol was even possible but i do crave it. i can last maybe 2 days without drinking but then i just cannot mentally or physically function without it, i believe it’s real but feel like i’m a weakling saying the reason i drink is cause of an “addiction”. So what are your thoughts?
thanks, yeah i just don’t know, cause it is one of those addictions that gets called a “false addiction”. what should i do?
“i’m right your wrong” thank you! and actually thank you to everyone who replied, you’ve all been helpful, i just don’t know how to define what i supposedly have, but in fact you’ve all commented me with helpful advice :) i’m going to look into this
thanks chimom. i’m so happy that the people commenting actually are real commenters an not trolls. i’ve probably dissapointed you all by drinking heaps more whilst you’ve replied. dammit i feel stupid

Question by Hottie here: What do you do when your spouse won’t communicate with you?
My husband is apparently having some sort of problem… he has been making my life a living hell. He works late, and he tried waking me up 5 times on Saturday very late… I was sleeping and getting pissed about it. Realizing he was drunk, I just asked him to leave me alone… plus I had to get up early to do some volunteer work. Apparently this upset him, so he went to his friends house at 4AM… I just went back to sleep, I wasn’t going to stress over it and fight with a drunk. I went to my volunteer thing, and returned at noon… he still wasnt’ home. He waltzed in around 1230, and angry with me… I just kept my mouth shut, thinking he might still be drunk. Then he got dressed and went straight to work. I decided… I’m not going to push him, obviously he’s having problems and he can come to me when he’s ready. But if I push him to talk, he will just blame me for everything. I am soooo sick of being blamed for everything… again, he tried waking me up at 3AM while I was sleeping.. I had to go to work, and being woken up every night gets really irritating to me… nothing good can be said at 3AM. I shrugged him off, finally I called him today… he’s STILL pissed… I stayed calm and asked him what his problem is? He pretty much just got pissed with me, started to tell me he didn’t want to talk only when I wanted to. I told him, well talking at 3AM is not going to happen..I’m sleeping and I cannot wake up every nite at 3AM because I need my sleep for my own sanity.

Filed under: Alcoholism

This day has turned out to be perfectly awful, capped off with my Internet deciding to go to Italy or something, so I’m posting this from my iPad, which means I’ll have to return later for tags and graphics. On top of that, it’s still Passover. I know that my ancestors did my unborn soul a solid by …
