It's quite simple. Say what you feel comfortable with. If you are still drinking it seems to be accurate to say, "I'm an alcoholic." If you're not drinking then "I'm a recovering alcoholic." I would think that the main thing is honesty, not only to others but to yourself. Just because you may be drinking does not mean that you are not welcome at meetings. The only requirement for membership is the desire to stop drinking.
