I was 'diagnosed' as an alcoholic according to my counselor's evaluation.
I'd rather have a label at this point, otherwise I'd say to myself I don't have a problem and drink again. I want to stay far away from that thought...36 days so far...!
It's funny...my counselor said years ago he was in a waiting room with a Readers Digest. Inside was a 'test' that read "Are you an alcoholic". Well, he had time to kill and started the test then thought only a problem drinker would even consider reading the test.
Do you think a social drinker would stop on that page? LOL
So...finding yourself on an addiction site must have some validity.
Wishing you the best of luck.
