    Just have an hour to spare before I hit the road back home and thought to log and ask this...
    ... if your Dr or other wise had a term for your condition what was it.
    Me being me ended up an borderline dependent.!:rolleyes: and yee I had to look it up on the net as the mind tends not to listen to my GP.
    Take your time now as their is only about 6 off us here and thats being optimistic I guess.

    I was at a meeting once where this young lad was sharing. It was his first meeting and, as you would be, he was a bit nervous. He starts "I, I'm not quite sure if I am an alcoholic...." to which an old guy with 30 years 'service' beside him bellowed "Course you're a f**kin alcoholic - why else would ya be here!"

    Anyway, back to your question... I'm an alcoholic. I'm not sure if I believe in all these 'types' stuff. You either are or you aren't. It's like being pregnant. You can't be 'borderline' pregnant!

    Fair enough Shay but I tend to follow what the pro's are running down my throat and if they say jump I say how high!!!

    How can you be an alcoholic and not dependent? I don't get it.

    sorry I am not being clear

    see dependency at

    about.com:alcoholism
    or
    alcoholism.com
    A bit off research goes a long way.
