I remember taking all the tests for excessive drinking and alcoholism a couple of years before I truly admitted I had a problem. I think I always fudged the results in the favor of not having a problem. Denial hard at work there. When I got truly honest with myself, it didn't really matter how much, when, why or where, I just needed to stop and stay stopped.
