I didn't think I had a problem either, despite being a daily drinking. But after a night of uncontrolled drinking I had a moment of clarity where I saw exactly what my drinking was doing to me and where it was headed if I didn't quit. That convinced me. So did the difficulty I had in quitting. I was addicted.
