Achieve some long term sobriety first, then worry about coming to terms with what to call yourself. I think you'll find with long term sobriety, it matters less.
As to what you are or what you call yourself...If you can't quit drinking, despite your desire to do so. It's a
problem. If drinking causes you problems, it's a
problem.
Not sure it matters what you call the problem, the solution is the same.
Sobriety.
