I had a stroke 2 years ago, the doctor in the hospital asked me questions.
The relevant part:
"Do you drink alcohol?"
"Yes."
"More than 1 drink a day?"
"Sometimes,yes."
"Do you ever have more than 5 drinks a day?"
"On the weekends sometimes,yes."
On the list of medical conditions in my discharge papers, there it was:
"Alcohol Abuse"

The shakes are gone, I dont drink. Im trying to rebuild and work again. -
Not trivializing anything. More than 1 drink a day is alcohol abuse. If you can't answer the doctor honestly, you have a drinking problem.

I answered everything truthfully, I dont drink anymore

I'm glad to hear it. Do yourself (and your family) a favor and find an AA meeting. The good news is that you never have to drink again, even if you want to.
