Again - No one but you will know if you are alcoholic - but I doubt there a lot of non-alcoholics sitting around on a Sunday morning wondering if they are alcoholics.

I know I'm not an over-eater, I know I don't have a gambling problem, I know I'm not a sex addict - I know I'm an alcoholic/addict - why do I know that??? - I Just do!

I do know that life w/o alcohol is better than life with it for me - so for me - no question about it - if life is better w/o it, why would I want it?

I'll be thinking about you and pulling for you, you will figure this out. Be honest with yourself. it is sometime easier to view it from a diff perspective - if a friend came to you with this same info and questions, what advice would you honestly give them?
