I realised today I was definitely an alcoholic. I awoke at 3.30am, having passed out around 11pm, before long I started having strange auditory hallucinations (voices) which I found myself replying to. Then the shakes, sweats, panic attacks and sheer terror arrived on cue later on in the day. What perturbs me the most is that all this was a product of only one day's drinking. This is the product of previous withdrawals in the past. I was sobre all week except Saturday, although I did drink all day long and probably had about 50 or so units. I'm starting to feel a little better now I think.
So...biologically I'm an alchy and psychologically I am as well. I hate socialising sobre. My girlfriend and best friend apart, people bore me when I'm sobre, and I include myself in that. Without a good drinking session to look forward to, there's very little that's special about a typical week for me.
