Obviously you have never dealt with having a real alcoholic/addict in your life.

Yes it is easy not to drink for most people that are addicts. I am not an addict and it is very easy for me to say no or just have 1 drink.

My wife on the other hand it is very hard for her. She is currently 23 months sober. She is an alcoholic/addict. Addicts are wired completely differently and their brains are addicted to whatever drug or drink of their choice is.

Don't be a dick or a troll in an otherwise good thread.

To the OP, keep fighting the good fight. One day at a time. Don't dwell on your past, don't worry about your future, just work on today.

That's what's wrong with this site. If someone disagrees with you, then they are a trolling dickhead. That's not true. I just dont agree with you.

Does she have the OPPORTUNITY to just say no and not bring the drink to her lips? Yes she does. She CHOOSES not to say no. No one forced her. That's what Im getting at, and why I dont understand it.
