[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

People choose to take that first drink, tell me who chooses to get cancer? Calling it a disease gives the drunk a built in excuse. [/quote]

You don’t just skip chemo or radiation when you have cancer. The comparison drives me insane. (Adult child of alcoholic who died at 57, after years of unhealthy codependent relationships with family who did not believe in truth/tough love). [/quote]

Sorry about your loss but your post makes no sense. [/quote]
