Yes, I agree.... most that I've talked to questioned their alcoholism at one point or another. I don't think anyone LIKES having to admit that they're "powerless" over some inanimate substance, such as alcohol. I do believe at one point in my life that I truly WAS an alcoholic, and for me, it wasn't about how much I was drinking, but what sort of priority I gave to it in my life and examining those motives.
I would love to get to a point in my life where there is zero craving for alcohol, that, not even in the most stressful times in my life, will I be tempted to drink. If I am not tempted, and turn willingly to a healthier solution, am I still, then, an alcoholic?
