I think I may be an alcoholic

I drink every day. Some nights I drink 4 double shots of Jack Daniels after work alone, at home. Other days I I'll drink beer. Like last night, I drank 1 double shot of Jack Daniels and 2 in a half beers. And these beers aren't bud lite or miller high life beers. They are stouts or IPA's. Very strong beers. I really want to stop drinking every night but I KEEP DOING IT. Cause I think "Oh it's not that big a deal it's only a few drinks". But it is. I feel like it has a lot to do with reasons why I can't drop as much weight as I want to. anyway, that's it!

A lot of people 'self medicate.' Humans have been doing it forever.
But there's a downside. And you're right about the weight. A lot of dead calories in alcohol. Not sure if it works for you but if you're looking for an escape at night...weed. Non-addictive and significantly less harmful than alcohol.

@Ynotisay I was thinking about weed but about last time I tried it, it made me feel weird. you're right though.

@dealingwithit10 It's a different feeling and affects the brain differently. Takes a few times to get used to it.
One thing's for sure. You won't find many angry, belligerent pot heads. :)
