Re: Am I addicted?
Maybe your wife loves you and wants you to be healthy. Having beer everyday can really mess up your liver. A lot of people have stressful jobs, but that's life, and not everyone only uses alcohol to help them with stress. I think you might be leading yourself to a problem, if you think having alcohol is the only way to relieve stress and to reward yourself after a long day of work, especially if your aim is to get drunk. Then the excuses will be "I'm upset with my wife" "I'm happy I got a promotion" "A relative died" etc. There will always be an excuse to drink, and that's probably what your wife is worried about--you becoming a drunk or messing up your liver. Try more healthier ways of relieving stress, like you mentioned going to the gym--that's great, reading a good book, meditation, playing board games with your family, going out with your family to play miniture golf or bowling. There are so many things you could do.
