Where's the line? It's right behind you. You crossed over it when you said "I don't think I'm ready to stop drinking. I don't know if I need to." That is called denial, trust me. And your comment of learning to control your drinking? As I said 2 days ago-NORMAL PEOPLE DON'T THINK LIKE THAT!! Read my lips - you, sir, are an alcoholic. Start dealing with it and cut out the rationalizing.
