I don't believe that labeling oneself as an addict is absolutely necessary for recovery. Personally, I can take it or leave it. I drank and smoked pot daily for pretty much the last 20 years, and have spent most of the last decade trying on and off to quit with very limited success, so the label kinda fits, lol.
I had a bout with cocaine too, crack and powder. It's been 10 years since I've smoked crack and I still occasionally have dreams about it.
