I don't buy only should would know if your alcoholic
I hear this all the time that only the person who has a drinking problem knows if they are an alcoholic. I've been reading online about this and watching Jersey Shore on MTV. Snooki, the girl that drinks all the time and does stupid things all the time. Well, she does not think she is one but the way she act when on alcohol and not are 2 different people.
But it does not matter if the person think they are or not. If they act, feel and behave like one then they are an alcoholic. General alcoholic suffer with depression, anxiety and addiction problem but I don't believe you can't believe born as an alcoholic like depression, anxiety an addiction.
What do you think about this subject?

A person needs to recognize they have a problem in order to decide if they want to do something about or not. The self discovery that they are an alcoholic is an indicator to a person that they are in dangerous territory.

IMO admitting the problem isn't that big of a deal for a lot of alcoholics. I think most may tell other people that they are not but inside they know. Being labeled an alcoholic is, often times, a hard concept.
