Rob, I do not consider myself an alcoholic...yes, I have a drinking problem, but I do not believe in the disease concept so I choose not to label myself. As long as I drink it remains a problem if I do not it is no longer a problem. I choose not to drink anymore. Plain and simple. It took many years for me to get to this point, but now that I'm sober I will never go back to the way I was.
I know a lot of people will not agree with me, but thats okay. I believe that as long as what we are doing works for us thats all that matters.
