You wouldn't know you're already alcoholic until you have to be sent to a rehabilitation center, and this is because you you are enjoying too much drinking. But enjoyment, no matter how it makes you happy, can always be dangerous. Here are some signs to know when you're already in a risky situation.
When you don't even need friends, and you don't need an environment with many people drinking, but still choose to drink, and alone at that - you may be an alcoholic. Drinking alone is no laughing matter. It shows how much you want to drink so badly.
When there are no chances for drinking, and when there are no friends who invite you over for some shots of alcohol, and especially when you're not even allowed to drink either by age, because of work, or because your parents do not allow you to, but still find a way to escape and drink - you may be an alcoholic.
When you depend on alcohol because you believe you will function better, and when you start feeling like alcohol is a vitamin supplement that you need to get you working - you may be an alcoholic.
When you feel the need to drink because time or work would not allow you to, but still choose to drink secretly - you may be an alcoholic.
When your mother, or your employer, or concerned friends confront you about your drinking habits, and you feel furious and trespassed because of it - you may be an alcoholic.
When you develop poor eating habits, and feel that any kind of food is no longer appetizing, especially when you think that alcohol would be better consumed than meals three times a day - you may be an alcoholic.
When you feel like slacking off more than you think you are allowed to, when you are too lazy to even take a bath, and especially when you neglect taking care of yourself, forgetting about proper grooming and hygiene because you are too excited and enamored with the thought of drinking - you may be an alcoholic.
When in the morning you tremble, shiver and shake because you feel too weak without alcohol intake - you may be an alcoholic.
You may deny it like every alcoholic does, but acceptance alone is already a sacrifice that is worth a better life.
