In my view it is not necessary to determine if you are an "alcoholic". What I figured out with some help of an AA old timer is this. He simply asked me: "Does alcohol consumption cause me problems?" If the answer is "Yes" then perhaps I would be better served by living my life without it.
For me it's really a one day at a time program. All I have is today and this morning I woke up sober and that's enough of a reward for not drinking yesterday. No hangover and not hating myself for drinking is pretty good stuff in my book.
What we really have is a daily reprieve contingent on the maintenance of our spiritual condition.
