Drinkers Like Me - Adrian Chiles (video)

[Chip (OP)]

I am currently wrestling with a fledgling alcohol addiction as I struggle with a DUI (Meth), mental illness, unemployment, isolation, fatigue, anxiety, depression and poly-drug addiction (Stimulants (METH) and GABAergics).

Ha, the video says that "it's not about drinking sherry in the morning" but that's exactly where I got to before trying to address my alcohol habit with my cheap (sherry: 11 std drinks for AUD 6$) drink of choice.

I drink and get back into bed; no hangover, no odd behaviour, no drink driving, no shaking hands; it's my physical health that concerns me and why I am making amends since i started daily drinking 3 years ago and heavily, in the past few months.

You are considered an alcoholic if you consume more than 5 standard drinks a day (for men) but physical dependence is another matter that I am personally unfamiliar with and want to keep it that way !!
