"question and answer" he sat naked and drunk in a room of summer night, running the blade of the knife under his fingernails, smiling, thinking of all the letters he had received telling him that the way he lived and wrote about that-- it had kept them going when all seemed truly hopeless.
putting the blade on the table, he flicked it with a finger and it whirled in a flashing circle under the light.
who the hell is going to save me? he thought.
as the knife stopped spinning the answer came: you're going to have to save yourself.
still smiling, a: he lit a cigarette b: he poured another drink c: gave the blade another spin.

Why did you ask yourself that? But for me there is a difference between addiction and daily indulgence.

No this is the dictionary's deff. for addiction
Quote:
1. 1. Compulsive physiological and psychological need for a habit-forming substance: a drug used in the treatment of heroin addiction. 2. An instance of this: a person with multiple chemical addictions. 2. 1. The condition of being habitually or compulsively occupied with or or involved in something. 2. An instance of this: had an addiction for fast cars.
I am none of those.

Psycological addiction is enough. if u drink every day, most would end up needing a drink, i know (in ur context) its not a hardcore addiction, more like a relaxation aid. I dont normally drink for days at a time, only at christmas, but not normally as much as i have this year. ive had it before when ive woke up and ive felt like a drink, n i felt like i was on the edge of something then. some people think it might be a genetic thing. i just dont wanna b pissed for days n wake up a pisshead. How do u get addicted to alcohol

It also has to do with your genes....Like, if your father was an alcoholic, you have a better chance of becoming one..etc etc..and its goes down the family line.

It's not like there's a certain number of days in a row you drink and then become an alcoholic.
Addiction is about dependence. If you have trouble NOT drinking, then you're looking at addiction.
People with real addictions hear some guy saying "I got drunk 5 days in a row, does that mean I'm an alcoholic now?" and pretty much want to punch that guy in the face for being such a goof. Addictions don't show up after binging for a few days. Addictions happen over the course of a long period of time. When your life revolves around drinking, you're an alcoholic, not if you've spent a week partying.

Word......I get especially pissed when people who smoke pot every day claim to be "addicted". I've gone through hardcore pothead periods......and I've been hooked on opiates, heroin and oxycontin for most of the past 3 years. BIG fucking difference there, extremely big difference. It's like comparing climbing a small hill to climbing Mt. Everest.

In first year Uni I drank every day for a year and still wasn't an alcoholic. It's because I'm not that fond of alcohol.
