Well said Day..
I was going to say something of those lines..
I have many labels for myself..
Kind
Funny
Sensitive
Over sensitive
Mean
Liar
Thief
Drunk Driver
Active Alcoholic
Sober Alcoholic
I have been all these labels before. I have to take the good with the bad. I do know that I am grateful to be sober. But if I put one drink in me I will be right back to active alcoholism..
So for me I must be rigorously honest with myself. The minute I dont believe I am still a alcoholic I might just talk myself into that I am a normal drinker and try it again.. No thanks I would rather just accept it and try to help another find sobriety..
Weather you call yourself a alcoholic or not doesnt matter. I dont care what anyone calls themselves. I do it for me and my sobriety
