HRB, my understanding is you want to continue FORWARD with PERSONAL recovery EXPERIENCES from alcoholism, as an alcoholic, correct? As you know, I'm a recovered alcoholic myself.

Sorry for the questions, but I already assumed I knew whatever enough about some other questions by other persons who posted seeking my opinion/advice, and I'll not make that mistake, in this thread anyways, again.
These are questions I thought I had answers to. When I quit, I knew I had a drinking problem. I could not stop at just 1 and I broke all the rules I set for myself. I consider this "alcoholic". The definition of an alcoholic is one that suffers from alcoholism. I am guessing I still would be unable to stop at just 1 so technically that still makes me an alcoholic. But this really is not a testable theory because I am not going to drink. So then comes the question do I suffer from alcoholism anymore. I am not sure. And I can honestly say that. Not trying to be evasive or trap you. I am not really one for labels because I don't see things as black and white... All shades of gray.
