Thank you again for your post. I have come to the conclusion that I have a problem with alcohol soon as I realized that I was drinking more and more. 2 beers quickly turned into an entire bottle of champagne + 1 beer. That same night I was trying my hardest not to throw up. The next day I felt like my life was unraveling. I have hurt my family over and over with my addiction. If one repeats a mistake at nauseum regardless of the consequences, that person has an addiction. That is me. I'm not willing to jeopardize my recovery to a stable mood by drinking anymore.
P.S. I also read an Unquiet Mind. It is amazing how Kay depicts mania and depression. I didn't feel so alone after reading it. I thought I could either be a victim or fight this thing. Also, the fact that she has been successful gives me hope. Thanks again for your response and everyone else that has responded.
