I have typically been a responsable drinker, within the reasonable guidelines that we've all heard about, and often took "breaks" pretty easily, anyway. The last 5 weeeks or so have been full of massive stressors, such as getting attacked, discovering someone I was doing business with was cheating me, etc- every week it seemed like something of that magnitude occured, one blow after another. Lo and behold, drinking 1-2 glasses wine several nights per week has rapidly become most of the bottle, just about daily. I'm getting a bit freaked out that this time, it's awfully hard to stay away. I'm sure this extra alcohol is contributing to worsening mood. Is 4-5 weeks of excessive drinking actually enough to become addicted??? Or could this be psychological at this stage? And does anyone have any ideas, from experience, about how I can nip this now, and Just Stop before it gets way out of hand? Thank you.
