Question 5

"I am a "social-drug user" .... do I have a problem?"

Accepted Answer

There is no such category as a "social drug user".
This is a "smoke-screen" used by alcohol/drug abusers in efforts of minimizing the depths of their "relationship" with mood-altering chemicals.
Illicit drug use is defined by anti-social behavior.

Question 6

I can "control" my alcohol/drug-use .... do I have a problem"?"

Accepted Answer

Generally, the need to "control" intake of mood-altering chemicals, is the result of some experiences, where we were "out of control".
Social drinkers are never compelled to ask these types of questions.
