I don't get crazy with the juice, I just like it. I try to buy all natural stuff to stay away from all the sugar.
Yes withdrawal was terrible for me but it needed to happen if I was ever going to move forward. It wasn't a matter of quality anymore, it was a matter of quantity and I ruined my marriage because of it. It was only after she left that I realized what an asshole I was.
Luckily it didn't destroy my liver so I'm ok in that department.
I was the same, it could never be just one or two, I needed to pound the whole bottle or case and through therapy found out that it's not uncommon. It was a way to prove myself to nobody and became a physical addiction rather than a psychological one. Alcoholism is a disease for us drunks and when our toleration level gets so high it becomes a serious problem. I could drink a whole case of beer in a day and not be drunk when other folks would be passed out in a ditch if they tried it.
Of course I had my moments but I just brushed it off and went back to it the next day.
I'm still a wierdo and I drink a lot of liquids but now it's mostly water. I probably go through a gallon a day but I have to piss a lot more which is not a bad thing, it's just annoying.
I guess I'm just one of those Freudians with an oral fixation and liquid is my drug but as long as it is water and healthy juice I think I'll be ok. It was a bitch to quit smoking but when they say dude, you have spots on your lungs and could die from this, it makes the decision a little more clear.
always a work in progress.... not dead yet.
