Is alcoholism a disease ? ABSOLUTELY!
Is AA effective? For some people, not the one I knew who went.
What are the alternatives? I've known a few people who were able to quit on their own, when they got close to f*ing up and ruining their families. One thing I remember that seemed to help this guy was never ever keeping any sort of alcohol in the house, so his wife basically had to stop too although she had no problem. The used to keep alcohol around in case they had visitors, but the guy would drink that too, so they didn't have any for visitors either. They thought it would be rude, but people understood.
As for me, I like glass or two of champagne a few times a week, it's not just for celebrating! I am also enrolled in the StonesTod Whiskey 101 course, he's a good teacher.
Wasn't looking too good, but I was feeling real well.
