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.

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.
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.

If you think it is "easy" for an alcoholic to stop drinking you are disagreeing with science.
Telling an alcoholic it is easy to stop drinking is condescending and makes that person look ignorant.

I completely get your point and where you are coming from. I felt the same way you did until recently. YOu will never understand until you deal with an alcoholic/addict on a daily basis. Hell some days I still think its just mental weakness. But it is a disease. Period.
