Welcome unentshieden!
I think it's safe to say that our addiction is always looking for (and usually finding) loopholes. From the outside, my life looked pretty good - no DUI's, blackouts, relationship or health issues....... but I could totally relate to everyone here......
There are online tests and articles that can help you answer your question. I tend to agree with the newer models that talk about alcoholism as more of a continuum than a single defined state. I'm sure I fit in there somewhere between the early and late stages. Today, I'm just glad to be sober, so defining how much of a problem I had doesn't matter that much anymore.
Congratulations on day 20! Take it a day at a time and let us know how things are going.
