mind game. I'm not a true alcoholic, undeniable alcoholic, gutter drunk alcoholic, wino alcoholic or whatever I wanted to rationalize my alcoholism with some funky qualification. The bottom line with me is: if I have a problem with alcohol, I need to do something about it. I had to get out of using confusing labels and just focus on finding the appropriate treatment that treated 'me (the) alcoholic'.
