Am I likely to be an alcoholic, if I don't have an addictive personality?!
Question: Am I likely to be an alcoholic, if I don't have an addictive personality.?
Unfortunately, it runs on both sides of my family. However, I've always believed I had an immunity, since I don't have an addictive personality. I don't believe I've ever been addicted to anything.
My preference of drinking has drastically increased, due to my current relationship. My significant other pisses me off, unknowingly, more than he probably means to.
I don't crave alcohol, I just desire getting drunk as often as possible. If it doesn't happen, I don't go out of my way. Mild complaining takes place, but that's as far as it's ever gone.
I just wonder if people that don't have addictive personalities are still capable of becoming alcoholics when excessively abusing alcohol.Health Question & Answer

Yes, if you drink with stress that is a sign that you have the potential. Try to channel that stress into a healthy option... exercise or meditation. I had a similar experience and I didn't drink at all when I went to college to avoid the temptation and because I didn't think I needed it. A relationship brought out a tendancy, that's what I learned to do as a kid. Even though I hated it, so now I drink socially but not if I'm stressed, I go to the gym or park for that.Health Question & Answer
it's possible. When drinking becomes a way of medicating yourself, or something you need, it can become addictive.
