I've been drinking almost everyday for the past 20yrs. I drink only at night. I don't have cravings during the day. I drink all sorts depending on my mood. The consumption for various alcohol:
Beer - 6 bottles/night
Wine - 750ml/night
Hard liquor - 500ml/night
That's about it at home. If I go out I probably drink some more.
People come to me and say that they find it sad to see somebody drink at home alone. I know they're right as it has become a bad habit already. However with the amount of alcohol intake, I don't shake, sweat or feel anxious without alcohol. So I don't see myself as somebody who needs serious help. I've seen worse on TV. But maybe I can be wrong. Are there any levels of alcoholism? If so, what level am I?
I would like to know tips on how I can rid myself of the Psychological cravings at night. I can probably go without a drink for 3-4 days. But after that I crave for beer and the habit of drinking every night goes back again.
I believe I can become a better person without alcohol. I believe I can be more productive without hangovers. Any suggestion on how I can go about this?
