To me, the whole problem drinker thing is addiction talking- it kind of puts you in a gray area where maybe it would be okay to drink again.

I am a problem drinker and have been for 20 years, ever since I had my first drink. I only drink socially and don't drink everyday or even every week- I have stopped for four pregnancies with no issues but I always, always drink again, even after vowing not to.
I always drink more than everyone else, I don't want to stop until I pass out, and I simply cannot have "a few drinks" without having way too many drinks.
I have told myself for these past two decades that I am okay because I am not an alcoholic (yet). That lie has cost me so very much.

I'll wear any label, or none at all. I do know drinking wasn't working out for me any longer and wanted to stop, So I did. Just that simple, but most simple things aren't easy and some days I have to fight like hell!
