it doesn't matter if you are an alcoholic or not. 'alcoholic' is pretty much a meaningless term. i personally don't even use it to describe myself. what matters is if you want to stop drinking, and if so, then this board, aa meetings, etc... are resources to help and motivate you to do so. think of 'sobriety' as an active lifestyle choice, something you're adding to your life, like going to the gym, for example, rather than as a 'lack' of 'alcoholism' or anything else.
