I am no longer dependent on alcohol. Yet, I retain the knowledge that if I were to drink again it would be bad, potentially disastrous. If I drink I lose any hope of control and I drink and drink and drink. That is why I choose to live a sober life.
So, not dependent on alcohol = not an alcoholic
Yet I know my reaction to alcohol would be atypical to how the general population reacts to alcohol. What do you call that?
Just curious.
