Sorry, I couldn't resist. I hope people got that I was joking somewhat. I did put a smilie. :-)

I've seen too many people try and tell other people that they are or are not alcoholic, or not "real" alcoholics. It surprised me when someone said it to me so soon after I posted.

The Big Book, and many of Bill Wilson's writings, tell us that alcoholic is a self diagnosis, and that no one can make it for you.

He also makes clear that many alcoholics (yes, even real alcoholics) can quit drinking without the AA program.
