My sister is here from Iceland for a visit and the Saturday before Halloween her and my parents decided to meet at the bar. I joined them. I had a wine cooler and a beer, does this make me an alcoholic?? If I would have relasped on meth then I would have felt really guilty but I am thinking it was only a coulpe of drinks--no big deal, it is not like I feel compelled to go out and buy a 12 pack and get drunk. Alcohol was never really my thing, meth on the other hand is my drug of choice and the one I know I have to stay away from!! So I guess I am wondering if I am alcoholic or not. I go to a lot of A/A meeting because that is mostly the meetings that are available and when it is my turn to speak I say my name and that I am an alcoholic--this bothers me a little because I don't think that I am. I don't know I guess I am thinking about this to much.
