What is the difference between alcohol dependency and alcohol dependency

by tohealth, Apr 02, 2007 12:00AM
Due to enormous amount of stress, and trauma I drink to much.  When I drink I feel temporarily euphoric, and my "problems" "go away" during the eurphoria.  Put another way I drink to relieve my stress.  

I believe that I an pyschologically dependent - when I feel stress I drink at night.

I do not have any cravings for alcohol at all.

What is the difference between addiction and dependency?
