Also, keep in mind this is a conscious decision with forethought. It's not, "fuck it I need a release I'm finishing this bottle of Jack", or even a spontaneous "oh I'll just have one beer, no big deal".
I'm ok being a social alcoholic, or a functioning alcoholic. I'm not ok with it interfering with my life, which it was.
I'm just going to be honest and blunt, Your in classic denial. Thats all i'm going to say i don't want to involve myself anymore with it because this is a personal thing and i don't want to step on your toes or have you step on mine. Alcoholism is what it is and its destroyed my family and my childhood and about 6 years of my adult/teen life. So i do speak from expierence but it does not really matter what kind of expierence i speak from because you have your mind made up already and i can respect that. I see your points and understand where you are coming from. I wish you well in life and good luck to you at the tables.
