is it an addiction? - July 9th 2010, 04:48 AM

I drink every once in a while, but not a lot because of fear of my parents finding out. About, say, once every two months, two if my idiot friend spends the night. Im not addicted, right?
Oh yeah, three nights a week if a girl rejects me. I forgot.

Nah, I wouldn't call that an addiction. When it's affecting your everyday life, that's when you should start to worry.

Just make sure you're safe. Don't drive under the influence, always have a ride home, stay with people you know, and don't drink so much you get sick.

You are not addicted I do not think. You are addicted when you DEPEND on alcohol like you drink every time you are upset or you NEED to drink.

people drink when they are upset,its human kind of natural.
agreed with above though.
addiction is like...once a day,or once for 5 hours,even further...and you cannot stop thinking when you might have the next drink. simply,you cannot put the addiction of your mind.

dont worry about it,you are completely fine.


I moved back while
my head was turned.

Upside down
closer to the end.

Afraid of the dark
within future times.

I'm drowning there,
my final chase.

it becomes and addiction when you feel like you cannot live with out it or think you need it


If we ass humans spend more time trying to forgive than being angry the world would have no wars or conflict and there would be peace.....being angry does not change the problem...........

When a blasian like me speaks you sit and listen!!!!...mmmp...mmpp...HI....lol
