How do you feel about these question. Do you want to stop for good and all? Are your problems due to alcoholism or do you harbour the hope that they will turn out to be from some other cause.? Do you hope that one day, maybe after a sufficient length of sobriety, you will be able to return to moderate drinking? Is there anything on your experience that leads you to believe it might be possible for you to be a normal drinker? What happens to real alcoholics who try to keep drinking? Is it ever a happy outcome? Are you any different?

I don't know about you, but I used to like twenty questions. I always got a good score when it came to alcoholism. About the only thing I could do right.
