I am still wondering what to call myself, too. What I do know about myself is that I have tons of regrets over my behavior while drinking. I have had the need to drink every night for several years. But, now I have stopped for 29 days and so maybe I start to think I'm not an "alcoholic", because that sounds too permanent.
Doesn't matter what you decide to call yourself. You are on this forum because there is something about your drinking that is concerning to you. Don't call yourself anything while you figure out how long you can do without it. Maybe that will be forever and it won't matter what label you chose or didn't choose.
