I was so pleased to see your post this morning as for the past few weeks I have been googling am I alcoholic enough!! I have been feeling the same so I can't offer you advice, seems you have plenty of wise words received. My head was telling me I'm not the perfect alcoholic as I was never locked up, visited A&E or any of the other stories I listen to in the meetings. I have always felt the need to be perfect in what I do, from sharing at meetings to being the perfect mother, daughter, employee the list goes on.
I thank you for posting this thread as I was too scared to.
