The first step is admitting you have a problem.

Not being able to quit is called addiction. Alcohol is a funny drug, impairs your judgement... so once you've had a few drinks you say the hell with cutting back and get smashed. You dont exactly have a good track record with alcohol either judging from the psycho bitch stories.

Alcohol might be an addiction, but what person thats a addicted to something can go 5 days straight without craving something straight off the bat when there not addicted?

Because thats exactly what I've done, I havent really missed alcohol it just helps me relax.

How does one stop some big mean motherhubber from tearing him a structurally superfluous new behind?
The answer, use a gun. And if that don't work, use more gun.

Exactly

Not being addicted is not having that craving constantly. Can you go without? Yeah probably, but eventually you'll give in like you already plan to do. Go a year without drinking, then if when you drink again afterwards you dont feel the desire to drink yourself stupid you can say you aren't addicted.

That's bullshit, the entire reason why "the first step is admitting you have a problem" is because addictions do not ever show themselves as "CRAAAAAAAAAAVE ME" in a conscious way. Subconsciously, you want it, and if you were offered it again, your subconscious would want you to take it

there's also a difference between mental and physical addiction. You can be addicted to something because it makes you feel good/relaxed without any physical need or dependence. In that way it's more of a habit. For example, I am addicted to biting my fingernails, because for some reason it makes me anxious when I don't. Some people are chemically addicted to cigarettes because their body craves nicotine. Some people are also mentally addicted to cigarettes because they feel relaxed just through the act of smoking just as much as they do through nicotine being in their system. That's why the patch/gum don't work for a lot of people that smoke for a long time.

I never said anything about mental or physical addiction, its just a damn addiction. I've lived with plenty of alcoholics, and people struggling with other addictions. If you keep yourself around that substance while your trying to quit, you will never be able to quit. It's cold turkey for a long time or nothing will change. Craving doesn't happen instantly, it happens a week later, 3 weeks later, a month, 4 months. It only takes one fuck up to start the cycle all over again.

I wasn't disagreeing with you. I was adding to you.
