A member asked:
I used to be an alcoholic and got sober i still drink on the weekends but if i drink i can't stop myself from drinking more. is this a relapse?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: A former alcoholic must not drink on weekends. She also must not drink on weekdays, nor on holidays. There are no days on which a former alcoholic may drink alcohol. To drink is to relapse... there is no middle ground.
