[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 716472, member: 1967"] I agree with Copa. There is physical addiction and psychological addiction. My daughter was able to stay sober for months at a time. She explained it to me as she could fight the desire and cravings for a while and she would eventually get to the point where she would tell herself that she could handle one drink. So she would have one and it would be okay. Then she would think she could handle two . . . and then three . . . and eventually spiral back into losing control. I asked her why in the world she would think that when it always went south and she said "you just don't think like an addict, mom." You can be an alcoholic without drinking every day or even stop drinking for periods at a time. You can be an addict without using every day or stopping for periods of time. [/QUOTE]
