Recently in the last few months I've noticed almost every night I feel like I HAVE to have a drink.
And it tends to turn into a lot of drinks to the point where I do get a bit drunk.

This is causing all sorts of issues. First i'm worried sick on whether it means I'm an alcoholic or not. this is not a term i want to be labelled as.

Second, i think the drive to work in the morning may be done while still over the limit. This is of course very dangerous. i lot of people probably do this - you think you feel fine and each morning i don't feel drunk but id be surprised if im actually under the limit.

It costs me a lot to buy all this alcohol. and im doing it all behind my mums back as well because if she knew all the alcohol i was consuming she'd no doubt go absolutely mad.

i dunno what to do. im scared to go doctors.
