Everytime I get upset or wound up by something I re-luctently reach for alcohol. I don't need much but feel the benefits of the calming effects. I've tried avoiding the booze for hours in hope of getting over what upset me, but until I have one glass of something i'll continue to be upset. I've tried other forms of relaxation but nothing works and im still bitter which could last all day. If I had one drink, i'll be sorted and calm almost imediatly. This one drink affect has been going on for years. I want it to stop and have refused to have alcohol in the house, but after a week im ruthless. It's sad really, I hate myself for being so weak minded. I don't drink socialy, and rearly sit down to drink with other people. Is it posible to be dangerously adicted to 1 pint a day?
