Does it matter what you call it? If alcohol causes you to lose your job, or even if it doesn't...if it messes with your life, then it's a problem. If eating peanut butter caused you to lose your job, would you have a problem just giving up peanut butter?
I recommend you get the book "Drinking, a Love Story," by Caroline Knapp. I am reading it now, although I have been sober for a little over four years. It's amazing how much I can identify with what she describes in the book. Just the thinking about having a drink after work, just enjoying that warm feeling in the back of your mind when you take that drink...it's all part of the alcoholic love story.
Again, if you are sharing on an alcohol recovery forum, something made you search it out. Something told you that you might want to just see if you could possibly have a problem. That, in itself, means something.
