Dear skeptical, I too have felt & acted exactly the way you did in the last year. I don't know your history or patterns, so all I can do is tell you how I feel, and what I have personally come to see. Last year I joined this group because I had questions if alcohol was a problem for me, but I refused to categorize myself as an alcoholic. I even joined an online AA group, but the most I would admit was that alcohol was causing problems in my life. I have tried moderation, abstinence, denial & avoidance. And then I reached a point last week where I said to myself, enough is enough. For myself personally, I realized that it was crazy for me to be taking "Do you have a Drinking Problem" Quizes online, and seeking out & joining online support groups & aa groups. OBVIOUSLY if I was researching these things and questioning my drinking & half looking for support, then I had a PROBLEM!!!! I believe that the subconscious brain tries to point you in the right direction sometimes & we just refuse to listen. I am finally listening  Like I said, this is just my experience I am not sure of your situation. But don't feel bad about posting This is exactly the forum for working out questions & answers & you will find nothing but support here Lots of Love!
