I like to think of myself as having been an alcoholic for at least 10 years. It's fine if people don't believe me since I never got addicted, per se, and it never seriously interfered with other aspects of my life like job, relationships, and activities. So when I decided to stop my constant drinking last year, it was not a big deal.

But there are times, after going to a party and drinking more than I usually do now, the next day I'll feel the craving. But it's not just a craving, it's the "I want to feel sick like that". Ill. Bad.
