I know I am. Some come here knowing something is wrong with there drinking and just to investigate which is great.

So are you, or your not sure, or you believe you not.

I absolutely believe that I am an alcoholic.

I believe I am...and am slowly learning the joys of sobriety that I never would have thought possibe.

Wait. Let me think about it. Ummmm... an adamant YES, I am an alcoholic! ;-)

I sure as hell am.

I fit the mold for sure. How do I know? I base my knowledge on what I have been taught in AA. I have an obsession to drink despite the obvious damage it does to me and my life. Once I start drinking, I have little or no ability to stop until I black out and pass out. Obsession and craving. No control once I start.

It might be helpful to provide some sort of definition for the newcomer who isn't sure.

Oops... Yes, I am an alcoholic. No doubt now.

Yep. I'm an alcoholic.

But now I am also an ex-drinker.

;-)

Oh yeah! No doubt here.

Yes, I'm an alcoholic.

Oh absolutely YES.

Happy though that I have stopped most of the further progression, cept medical, by simply not picking up that first drink.

I am thankful for AA.....I finally kinda understand:p

gotta go my kitty tail got nipped by an angry Pit Bull LOL

Have a wonderful night

Yup, exactly like how to live said.

I know I am an addict. I've always found a way to become addicted to something, be it eating disorders, cutting, alcohol, you name it. Crappy coping mechanisms are the name of my game. Alcohol has always been my go-to addiction of choice until now.

No more. :) Gonna beat this one.

Absolutely. Not a question in my mind.

yes....
