blueberry - Count your blessings you stoped before you reached the point of no return
Yes we can over come , but it gets harder each time we fall. Than by the time we realize we have a problem are health has paid the price .
You have said , It's hard to quit once you start . I don't think you need to put a label on it . Either way if you keep trying to drink You will become an alcoholic .
Stick with your plan , you'll be fine . It's no Fun fighting that Beast
