Alcoholic Definition

The Alcoholic Defined

"If, when you honestly want to, you find you cannot quit entirely, or if when drinking, you have little control over the amount you take, you are probably alcoholic. If that be the case, you may be suffering from an illness which only a spiritual experience will conquer."

~Alcoholics Anonymous, 4th Edition, We Agnostics, pg. 44~

Thus there are 2 questions to ask about drinking;

  1. Can I quit drinking entirely - continuously?
  2. Have I got complete control over what I drink, how much I drink, when I drink, where I drink and why I drink?
