Question by Jade Orchid: Is someone that gets drunk every night before going to bed, “to help him sleep”, an alcoholic?
After work this person comes home and drinks till he reaches an intoxicated state every night he works…Is this alcoholism? How do I talk to him about it? The person isn’t mean or anything while drunk but I’m worried about his long term health… Thanks

Question by lipgloss-junkie: What’s the difference between drinking to get drunk and drinking to relax?
I’ve heard people defend the practice of drinking alone as innocent relaxation (and I totally agree with that). But…as I’m sitting here after working and studying all day and wanting to enjoy a few cocktails in peace, I can’t help but wonder where the difference between alcoholism and relaxation is. And along those lines, do you consider drinking to get drunk to be a bad practice? Any thoughts?

Alcoholism is just doing it habitually. You have one drink a day for 6 months and have with-drawls if you miss a day.

And getting drunk is a step further than relaxing

I continue my tale of a bad day at work.

AA Daily Reflections ~ “WALKING THROUGH FEAR… If we still cling to something we will not let go, we ask God to help us be willing. ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS, p. 76 When I had taken my Fifth Step, I became aware that all my defects of character stemmed from my need to feel secure and loved. To use my will alone to work on them would have been trying obsessively to solve the problem. In the Sixth Step I intensified the action I had taken in the first three Steps — meditating on the Step by saying it over and over, going to meetings, following my sponsor’s suggestions, reading and searching within myself. During the first three years of sobriety I had a fear of entering an elevator alone. One day I decided I must walk through this fear. I asked for God’s help, entered the elevator, and there in the corner was a lady crying. She said that since her husband had died she was deathly afraid of elevators. I forgot my fear and comforted her. This spiritual experience helped me to see how willingness was the key to working the rest of the Twelve Steps to recovery. God helps those who help themselves.” Walking through fear… as we come to understand in sharing how we were back then, step five opens the door to self awareness, willingness and self honesty. What drove us mad back in the day. Now, less fear, less ego, more faith and courage to live truth, love and be loved back, and learn wisdom from others as life affords today… Romance and finance! Back then behind closed doors, love …

READ DESCRIPTION PLEASE!!! So I went out for new years but stayed sober. I was the DD. Yippee! People accused me of drinking on New Years when I was actually sober… The wine bottle was already empty prior to making this video it was just water! [ I consumed it on Blog TV with Andrea :www.youtube.com earlier in the week! But shhhhhh!]I was not really drunk. This was just an “prediction” of how I would’ve acted if I had consumed the bottle in one whole night… Umm in a couple of hours. Umm… Yeah this is a joke so don’t take it seriously! I am not an alcoholic! And I do not have an alcohol problem! -Cyn Now you guys see why I hardly drink!! Follow me On Twitter! www.twitter.com Subscribe to my Random Live Shows!

Question by Feminecronomicon: If a drunk man forces himself on a sober women, how many years in prison should she get?
Since technically she raped him as a drunk person’s consent is not consent at all.
So you’re saying that neither party was raped?

Question by MMMM B’eer Verchina Expert: If I went to work drunk would I get a couple months off to go to treatment?
Also can you drink while in treatment?

And no they can not fire you for coming to work drunk due to alcoholism being a disease they have to try to help you the first time.
As long as you ask for help they can not fire you the first time.

Trust me I know these things.
