In retrospect, when was drinking different for you versus others? from your first drink? Or did the problem creep up on you?

The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.
If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.
If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

The psychological addiction can come up pretty quick whereas the physical can take a lot longer. The psychological part is pretty strong for many, and will convince them that they can stop any time they choose. Problem is that they rarely choose to do so before it is too late. Then when they try to stop they start to realize that it isn't as easy as they first assumed. The guilt and remorse of succumbing to the temptation again and again becomes a factor causing them to pick up a drink again even when they don't want to. Vicious circle.
