I'll try to be there with Festor if he's not busy.

Re: that alcoholism quiz, in my opinion they should put more qualifications into the "Do you drink alone?" question, such as, "Do you usually drink alone?" or "Do you drink a lot of alcohol while alone?" I don't think having one glass of wine after dinner two nights a week is putting me on the road to alcoholism.

When are you doing to admit that you have a problem!?

One of the things to keep in mind about AA, NA, and any suport group - is that many of these people have their whole identity based on overcoming something. What most people don't even have as a weakness, they see as a defining strength - leading them to spend their whole lives focussed on not doing things, on how low they used to be compared to their current group dependence. To feel better about themselves, they see everyone around them as having the problem they once had. This way, they aren't weak freaks, they're just the wise ones who recognize what everyone else doesn't.

So sure - they make pop quizzes with the idea that everyone who takes them will be a drunk. This one actually wasn't too bad, but it's hard not to get about 3, you get 2 just for admitting that you're a little insecure and feel more confident after a drink - duh.

I got about 1/2 because I wasn't sure what they meant about the one I mentioned above.

I wouldn't do anything drunk that I wouldn't do sober. Oh - except puke in a trash can in public. Yeah.

I will be flying out to LA to visit the boyfriend that night, so I won't be able to make it. I will do my best to help you stave off alcoholism sometime in the future; however, should you still have need for periodic interventions.

The quiz told me I wasn't an alcoholic;) I beat the box:)

My favorite question was this one:

Q: Do you turn to inferior companions and environments when drinking?

Now that's just mean;)
