think I might be a drunk

7. I also worked in a treatment center

And took a lot of inquiry calls. That is part and parcel of treatment centers, getting clients in for an evaluation, to gain another paying customer.

I told callers that if they were thinking they had a problem they probably did. The quiz a councillor gives leaves little wiggle room. Pretty much if you have more than two drinks at a sitting, you will be condemned. The other questions I remember had to do with the social impact the drinker may have such as trouble on the job, troubles in the family, trouble with the law.

My mom used to say it is not how much or how often one drinks but the change in personality that can take the person over, when they become intoxicated. That was just homegrown wisdom, from meetings.
