It doesn’t matter how much, what or how often.. what does the alcohol do to you when you drink? For me I was unable to say no to alcohol… and I was a monster. A complete piece of sh!t.
If you want to stop drinking, it is a complete lifestyle change. Go to an AA meeting. Sit and listen. We are all in charge of our own sobriety. You get out of it what you put in.

I agree with Tim, I had periods of my life where I was a periodic (only drank on certain days, but I would black out and do horrible things and have to live with the outcomes. That’s one of the real truths of recovery (and I attend AA); it’s not how much you drink, it’s if you really want to stop and you find that you can’t or once you start drinking, you crave more and more. Our literature is very clear about what a “real” alcoholic is. If you really want to quit, continue to stick around and talk to people about their experiences. My story was similar to yours at points of my life, other times I drank around the clock. The only thing that stopped that is working this program and a power greater than myself took that away, but it took work and willingness after I had no other choice. There are people on this app that can help.
