Only you can answer that question, but if I were drinking a bottle of wine a day, as well as drinking to calm down after fighting with my spouse, I would say yes I am an alcoholic. The problem with the disease of alcoholism is that it tells you that you aren't an alcoholic when you are one.
Alcoholics drink to change the way they feel.
Alcoholism is a progressive disease. What once was 2 drinks a day can grow into a bottle a day and then some.
I have not been able to go without a drink 100 percent for along time. However, there are days I can get myself to just have 2 glasses. Unfortunately, lately, they are few and far between.
Just because you "can sometimes just have 2 glasses" does not by any means imply that you are not an alcoholic.
What advice would you give me?
We're here to share our experience, but since you asked for advice, I would suggest you go to AA and seek counseling of some kind but the decision is yours and yours alone to make.
