Interesting. I haven't told anybody outside my immediate family and people in AA, except for one person at work (my former boss). He claims total discretion, and I believe him, mostly because I've shown such good conduct after quitting.
As far as my doctor, we haven't really discussed labels. Maybe we should. She seems to just consider my foray into alcoholic drinking as an incidence of of bad judgment, for which I decided to seek help and am now doing fine. I guess she would have to report my admission for detox on any forms that specifically ask for it. Hmmm. Guess I'm lucky I already have plenty of level term insurance...
