Welcome, again. I'm glad you're still here.
My experience is that alcoholism is a progressive disease, getting worse, never better.
The times that I was able to convince myself that I was fine - maybe even better or cured - were only short times. I would have a glass of wine or two and leave the dinner table. But the next day I would say, "see? I could do that." and have 2 full bottles.
Don't let yourself think that you are in a different category just because at this stage you're a binge drinker and can go days without drinking. I've known people who went long miserable years without drinking, finally convinced themselves that they were fine and went out and stayed drunk for 14 years, ending up in the ICU.
This is a serious disease and it can kill you. Binge drinking in particular can be deadly. But we are all drunks, in the end. Just common drunks.
