I’m an alcoholic and reading your replies you are definitely one too. “I can take it or leave it” is such an addict thing to say. Also drinking doesn’t help with stress, it just kicks the can down the road making it harder to deal with in the future

Don’t project your problems onto me. Its one drink when I’m on edge after work and it does help with stress, it takes the edge off enough that I can do things that I enjoy which reduces my stress.

If my reddit account still existed I could point you to posts written by me 10 years ago identical to the things you are saying

I’ve been doing this longer than 10 years and it hasn’t escalated. I actually drink much less now than I used to because I’m not going out partying all the time anymore.

Its insidious how the progression goes. Im in the same boat. Recovering alcoholic, 18mo sober, AA meetings. I too was deeply insistent tgat my drinking was normal, controlled, and healthy, right up until it almost killed me
