I wonder if the terms alcoholics use to describe themselves end up making it difficult for them. What seems important to me is not so much how others define you but how you define yourself. But depending on hou long you have been sober, there may be great changes in who you are at the moment. Whatever stresses there are in your life you are finding other ways to deal with them.
Alcohol is never a way to deal with problems.
It is a way to hide out from problems for a while. Thanks for answering my question. And best wishes.
