Thanks Nanda !
I totally agree! pssst I am a blueberry please dont tell anyone.
On a serious note, for me, the labels, they are just that. There are a million different ways to describe something in words. Personally I dont like the term alcoholic, so I dont use it. I dont feel that this detracts from my recovery anymore than calling my husband my huzzy. Do I feel less committed to him because I call him something besides what society deems to be the correct word? ABSOLUTELY NOT!
In my opinion its not important what you call it as long as you know what the problem is and find a way a deal with that problem that is going to reach you personally. For all I care you can say... I have a problem....I am an alkie....I overuse....Im endangering myself....as long as you seek the help you need I dont think it matters what you call it. That is just my opinion of course.
