[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks to the helpful PPs.

As far as rehab not working - maybe you've never been if you think it's an easy fix. I went to one of the better places on the East Coast, but it's very 12-step (aka AA) oriented, which has a 5-10% chance of success.

To the posted that asked why I have kids if I'm an alcoholic?[b] The proper term is Alcohol Use Disorder. It's a condition, like cancer or diabetes[/b]. My son is in his teens and I developed it later, due to multiple causes including trauma. I'm working on it. Why did you have kids if you're going to be a judgmental prick?

I have people I can call and I can log into a SMART recovery meeting. Thanks for those of you who are kind. I wouldn't wish this on anyone - the guilt and shame is tremendous. [/quote]

Admitting you have a problem is the 1st step. Calling it some made up name and comparing it to cancer is a joke. Do better. [/quote]

I'm not OP, but alcoholism IS a disease.  And they never graduate from program.  They just have to work their program, and relapse is unfortunately part of recovery.  [/quote]
