Am I an alcoholic??

I guess I come here in desperate search of the definition of Alcoholic. The word makes me cringe. Do I think I am an Alcoholic.....no (I think), do I think I have a problem....yes! My problem is binge drinking I guess is what it is. Do I drink every day, no, but when I do drink, I can't stop....does that make me an alcoholic?? I come from an alcoholic family. I always told myself I would never be like them. I think that trying to prove I am not like them, has made me one of them. Does that make any sense? I can't put the blame of drinking to much on someone else, because it is me who decides to drink or not. Anyways, I am very confused.

I have read some of the posings and I guess I just need help. Do I go to AA or Alanon?

Thoughts would be appreciated!!!
