Congrats on 1 month WGO!
Jsbodhi, me too. I even had doctors, therapists, and friends say I'm not an alcoholic. But guess what? They were basing that decision on "criteria" and each person is different.
On a deep level I just KNEW I have a problem. I started healing when I stopped comparing myself and started doing recovery work.
