I love your take on this and thank you for it but I have to disagree.
The reason I say I am an alcoholic is that I am addicted to alcohol, I have been through the reasons and excuses but for the best part of 20 years I have been unable to function and have had to resort to drinking alcohol to be able to survive in normal life.
As I said earlier I understand your take on this but the situation has progressed beyond the ability to change my outlook on this.
I would love to simply change my perspective.

If it makes you feel better calling yourself an "alcoholic" then feel free to do so!

As the Op states I am an alcoholic, I have been for many years. I have given all the reasons under the sun to explain this.
Stress, pressure of work/life ect. I just thought I would say this here before I take the plunge and say it out loud in the real world.

Correct your proclivity to depend on alcohol and guess what? You are no longer an alcoholic!
