Welcome! Glad you are here. Only you can decide for yourself whether or not you are alcoholic--no one else can decide that for you. Yes--you are welcome to attend AA. There you will learn that we all have our different stories--our drinking patterns and what it was like for us. We all have one thing in common though--the "allergy" the book refers to...like you mentioned>once having started to drink cannot seem to stop--almost as if something seems to take over and we just go wherever the drink leads us......at least thats' how it was for me. I would suggest go to a few meetings and see what you think. It certainly couldnt hurt. i found out I couldnt recover on my own either--I tried over and over but always ended up drinking again eventually. You are not alone. We do recover.
