Hey
wibble, welcome to the forums! You will find tons and tons of support here. We know what you are going through... Personally, I just hit day 12 and this is the longest I've been sober since mid-April.
I know I'm an alcoholic because firstly, once I get started with a drink, I can't stop. Secondly, because I couldn't stop when I wanted to. I just could NOT stop drinking. I put way too much planning into when I would drink, where I would drink, how I would get to the liquor store before it closed, how I would get home from where I was drinking, etc. When I realized what I was doing, it occurred to me that normal drinkers don't think of this stuff! They don't plan their days around alcohol like I did.
Anyway, keep posting! I'm glad you are here.
