I think that realisation that we are in fact alcoholic is a really valuable one.
It will be even more valuable if you can follow through with some action now, because on the other side of the ledger, you're drinking more..sure it was only once, but it's really easy to step up consumption, believe me.
It would be really good for you if you could rein this in before things get too insane, LB.
Going along to that AA meeting for example, sounds great or posting more here
best wishes
