Dr. Robert Killian answered

Specializes in General Practice

Alcoholism: It surely sounds like you have alcoholic thinking and perhaps even alcoholic drinking. Drinking daily is a good definition of an alcoholic. Perhaps going thirty days without drinking may be a good place to start to get some clarity.
