I agree. I don't consider myself an alcoholic. "Alcoholic", to ME, indicates that I still continue to drink and still do all the things that an Alcoholic does and has problems with. That life is out of control because I continue to drink.
I refer to myself as a former alcoholic, or a person with an alcohol intolerance, or an allergy to alcohol.
Its all in the way you choose to look at it.
