Does anyone have any insight into accounting roles at Amazon, particularly in the Arlington/DC area? An Amazon recruiter reached out about accounting roles, but the posts in this bowl are about Seattle. Trying to decide if the culture/wlb/pay is even worth looking into since it sounds like the interview process is intense. Base pay seemed pretty low in other posts, but they were a year old and for Seattle.

If you’re trying to find the line, I think it’s safe to say you are there. I’m not sure there’s a real difference between dependence and addiction.
When you start to question it.
Not sure there is a line, sound almost synonymous to me.
This might help: Try to stop. If you actually try, and cant, pretty safe to say it’s an addiction and you should seek help. That was what did it for me, was sure I could stop. I sincerely tried and failed at anything more than a couple days at a time.
A couple of other questions to ask yourself and honestly answer. Why can't you "have fun" with out it? What is the reason you're asking yourself this in the first place? Being in the rooms for quite awhile, hearing stories, and telling my own has led me to believe that much of the time we are fooling ourselves about how much trouble we are in. Most people think very little about this because they don't have a problem. Try hanging with sober / recovering people. Listen to tales of experiences on both sides of the bridge. If they strike a chord, try recovery. It may be the best choice you ever made!!!
Thank you for the responses. I’m in the odd spot where I sincerely CAN stop when I try without a problem, it just sucks to and I don’t necessarily want to. After a few days I no longer crave it but it certainly makes life less fun.
For me, I thought the same thing as I was not a daily drinker. However, it got to the point that even when I had no intention of drinking, in certain social situations I would end up drunk. I took a look at my track record with alcohol and realized that though I didn’t drink daily and could go periods of time without it, eventually I would drink again and feel depressed or even suicidal. I know longer wanted to play Russian Roulette with my life by continuing the cycle.

What will you do differently if you decide you’re in one camp or the other?
Stop vs use less I guess? I haven’t craved in a few days but I’m also not in an place where I can get more right now. I’m assuming once I have access again I’ll go right back to craving and that’ll suck. I went sober for a full month once WITH access and was fine so maybe if I do that I’ll be good to go. (Believe me I do hear myself)
