Misread as '6 year old clean and sober', wondered what the fuck your kid had been up to. Congrats, dude.

I'm trying to stop drinking so much. It wasn't causing problems really but a couple cocktails a night most nights a week isnt good and 1/2
GlassPHLEGM
Handle that shit before it starts handling you
thelonepig
It's kinda expensive and full of carbs. But it's hard to stop because I don't NEED to stop. Any advice?

Alcoholism is progressive. You might not be alcoholic though. Give the Marty Mann test a shot (pun intended). I find it's a good barometer

... starting to fail at my job. I boasted of being a high functioning alcoholic, but got to the point where I was drinking so much that ...

My experience was that I couldn't stop until I really wanted to. "Wanting to" took me falling into a really deep depression and ...

If you're concerned than I'd say you do need stop. At least for a while. Try saving the money you would spend on booze on something (1/2)
Sario528
(2/2) nice for yourself.
thelonepig
That's a good idea! 8 cocktails a week should save me like $180/month. See?! That's a lot! That's why I should quit drinking!!
thatdamnlion
... I kinda lost the plot. Maybe try checking out a local AA meeting. Seeing what alcoholism can do to people might help your perspective.
thelonepig
See, I do like 8 drinks a week. But it seems bad to spend $200/mo on cocktails, and be buzzed 4 nights a week. Every time I think, "That's..
thelonepig
... Nothing, that's not like you have a problem," I sound like I'm in denial. Maybe I'm paranoid, who knows. :/
thatdamnlion
You're the only one who can decide if you have a problem or not. If it's affecting your daily life, your work, your relationships 1/?
thatdamnlion
But if you'd like to talk more about it, I'd be happy to. I'm not here to convince anyone they should quit drinking. Just to talk it out 4/?
thatdamnlion
I was drinking a whole bottle of whiskey and as many beers as I could afford every night. So, that was definitely full blown alcoholism. 3/?
thatdamnlion
But if you feel like you CAN'T stop, then that could be an indicator that it's a problem. May not be full blown alcoholism... 2/?
