If you need an occasional alcoholic beverage to let off some steam, that is perfectly within your right to do so as long as an occasion does not turn into a frequent routine as they tend to become a daily event, which soon becomes a part of your daily life in the same fashion as putting on clothes or brushing your teeth.

There are so many reasons or excuses that a person uses to explain why being an alcoholic is now staring them right in the face when they look in the mirror. Some are out of control alcoholics who drink themselves into a comma while some are functioning alcoholics whose body has become so adaptive to alcohol that they function like normal people, but does this mean that they are the exception and not the rule?

Absolutely not! Whether they realize they have a problem or not, the bottom line is this, when you wake up for a drink, go to work and have a drink, have a drink instead of breakfast, have a drink with your lunch and dinner, have a drink before and after you brush your teeth, and use alcohol as a sleeping pill, you have missed out on a lot of things in your life as drinking has become your life.

To an alcoholic this is not a problem because they feel that because they are rational, they are in control, but having or being in control is not depending on an alcoholic beverage for a pick me up. We all have had one time or another when we had one too many drinks and have experienced the feeling of being outside of our normal self where we have had no fears, felt invincible and for some, were the person that we have always wanted to be when we are intoxicated. I like to call it the Dr Jekyll and Mr/Ms Hyde effect when in one hand a person is hidden and reserved within themselves, but on the other hand with influence of alcohol are transformed into a completely different person that is talkative and outgoing.

However, over time some people get use to being that other person so much so that they hate being sober as being sober forces them to have to deal with the problems plaguing their lives. So they live each day under the influence of alcohol convincing themselves that it is a lot better than feeling bad all of the time, but that is not living and it is not life. It is being a prisoner in your own flesh dreading being sober as you are once again forced to deal with real issues.
