FleurdeLis -
Welcome to SR. Hope you will keep posting.
I too thought that I wasn't really drinking that much. But, once I started to be brutally honest with myself, I realized that I was undeniably an alcoholic.
As others have said, the label doesn't matter. What matters is that you have decided that you want something different ... something that many people on this site have.
You will find so many great new things as you stop drinking ... and if you can catch it early enough, you can avoid a lot of the pain that you will read about on this site.
Welcome! Keep posting.
Remember too, you can't do this alone. Recovery involves more than just abstinence. You need a program of recovery. My program is: AA + SR + helping others + daily application of the new life tools I've learned; but there are lots of other good programs too.
You've made a good decision and are in a good place. Keep coming back.
