I found this site accidently when I was googling Bob Dylans alcoholic life, and thought it was cool because will have been sober for 6 months on the 29 of Nov. (one day at a time!)--doesn't that one day at a time make it so simple if I thought I had to quit drinking the rest of my life I could not do it.

I am a member of AA and read a few post in the thread about the "real alcoholic" and I just know that an alcholic is only an alcoholic if he deems himself an alcoholic and that is what my Big Book of AA says.
My dad drank like an alcoholic but wasn't one because he didn't think he was. I am an alcoholic no matter how often or how much or how long I drank that's what my Big Book tells me.

I'm not sure if I'll stay on this site too long as I am comfortable in AA and think there might be some weird people here(not saying there are not any in AA) but it's a new experience which I will talk with my sponser about tomorrow.
It might be another oppurtunity to work with others.....just saying hi!
