(((Wallo))) - I, too, believe that no one can say whether you're an alcoholic but you. I'm really glad you're seeing a counselor. I know of many people who self medicated mental issues (anxiety, bipolar, depression, etc.) with alcohol and/or drugs and became addicted, but only you can answer whether you've crossed the line from self-medicating to addiction.

Most people can set limits on what they drink/use....for a while. My feeling is, if I have to tell myself "I will only have/drink..." then it may be an issue for me.

I truly hope and pray you haven't crossed the line into alcoholism, I understand your doubts, and I wish you the best. Regardless of the outcome, we are here for you.

Hugs and prayers,

Amy
