Him and Welcome to SR HolyPoopie!
Glad to have you here, and that you want to do something about your problem.
I was also a binge drinker, and then my drinking escalated over the last few months of my active alcoholism..
About the label...just don't worry too much about it, the important thing is to take care of yourself right now, and do this because you want to quit drinking. There is nothing shameful about realizing that you have a problem and doing something about it. You don't need to wear an "I'm an alcoholic" button in public to do so
