Yourself..........

I get most things wrong, what if I'm wrong about this? What if I label myself as an alcoholic, and give up drink, when really I don't need to cos there is nothing wrong with me?
And Al Mac, if I'm annoying you, just tell me to !!!!!! off. I am trying, I really am.

gee thanks Lewt, no ones ever said that to me before, seriously though, I don't think saying your an alcoholic, means your are labelling your self, it's only a label if you want it to be, it's not like you're going to wear it round your neck, it's actually about admitting it to yourself, you don't have to run around telling everyone.

I'm not an alcoholic, I'm not willing to prove myself wrong either

No, I sober at the moment.
I wish there was a simple option you know? The option of being an alcoholic isn't a nice one - I'd rather not have to give up drink all together, I do like it.
I'm pretty sure I use it to cope cos I am miserable, if I was happy, I'd probably be alright
