greg,

i agree with whoever said that only alcoholics sit around wondering if they're alcoholics.

i can't give any advice on the subject of quitting because i've rationalized my daily drinking (usually to the point of getting fairly drunk to trashed) as, "my life has been like a horrid movie-of-the-week for the past year, i'm just cuttin loose for awhile"--but i don't think i'll ever be able to drink like a normal person.

i like being numb too, or giggly, or extravagant--"one step over the line sweet jesus, one step over the line..."

was listening to louis jordan today (great jazzbo) and he's got a song about, "what's the use in getting sober if you're only going to get drunk again?"

on the serious side, i also agree with whoever said to follow your instincts.

it's tough. today at work i was trembling and nauseous but now it's today *after* work and i'm craving wine. this is the way it always goes.

yes, your drinking sounds like a problem to me.

if you are unhappy with it and worried about it, it is a problem.

in the past year i've lost a handful of friends due to drinking, nearly my job, it causes me to disscociate and do strange things that i regret, and most recently totalled my car and was arrested for dwi.

yet i continue.

this is very addictive stuff.
