Re: Drinking and when it's a problem

Yes, it's a problem. Reading though the comments it sound like your on the edge of it becoming an addiction but as of now it's an unhealthy habit. You mentioned you don't drink every day, but mentioned can't first, which to me sounds like it's a forced break more often than a willing one. I am curious though, what is the longest you've gone without drinking recently?
Also your limit is getting shit-faced, which, honestly is probably more honest than most people in this situation. But that also implies that you still get fairly smashed on a fairly regular basis.
You also mentioned that "it doesn't affect your work", which again I'm reading that you do drink before/on the job but no one has mentioned it/you don't believe it's a problem. Which even if you do just take a glug before your shift, it is the basic definition that your drinking has gone too far.

And obviously the secret part. I do believe you that you think people might judge you and that's your reasoning for not doing it obviously, but then I feel the need to ask, why do you need to drink in the morning at all? Is it a distraction, self-medicating, impulsive, because 'you want to, and what can it hurt?'
That is the most important question, I think. What drive you to drink if you know you need to hide it. Why can't you wait until the afternoon?

I do so much inferring because I live surrounded by a family of drunks, straight up alcoholics, people who just live drinking, and then some. This also includes me, so know I'm not judging when I ask these questions.
In my opinion I think you need to get help before it becomes something you'll need to be saved from. Just because you don't feel all the potential consequences drinking like this can cause, doesn't mean you should wait for something to go wrong before you act on it.
