But every time you post things like that “I can stop any time” it’s so classic alcoholic - sigh - I guess it just has to go this way
Addiction doesn’t follow a movie script. It seems like by definition if you can take long breaks you’re not an addict. It’s not that simple.

It really is textbook addict reasoning. "I'm not an alcoholic because I can control my drinking- look, I've gone x days without" or "I can stick to only two drinks a day." You can still be an alcoholic and have the ability to restrict your intake, its ultimately about your relationship with alcohol.
