I asked for advice and you guys sure did give it to me!

I think acceptance of having a problem has always been hard. I chose not to drink, but never really got that I was an alcoholic. Even now, I can't quite smash through, and so everything else feels false. I think that is why I went to see an addiction specialist. I wanted him to say, yes you are an alcoholic. It doesn't really work like that though.

It was hard to read some of the replies, but they were all true. In almost 6 years of AA, I have always kept myself at a distance, not really sharing, not doing chairs. Always feeling a fraud, and maybe not allowing people to get close in case they discover I really shouldn't be here.
