Re: Some of my former friends

I was a past alcoholic (which I have long since beaten, I can now drink socially without problems). [/ QUOTE ] No. You are still an alcoholic till the day you die or you never were to begin with. You never "beat" alcoholism, especially since you still drink. For a alcoholic there's no such thing as "social" drinking, it's just drinking. And yes this is from personal experience. Still a very sobering cautionary story. Would make a good tv show.

I don't want to turn this into a harm reduction vs. AA debate, but just because there's no such thing as social drinking for you, doesn't mean that there's no such thing for everyone who ever abused alcohol.

Re: Some of my former friends
I feel the same way too KurtSF. When it was time to dry up, I was told I could never do it without help. I went to one AA meeting and thought it was total BS and hated it. Just not for me.
With only the support of my gf/now wife I stopped drinking for 3 years and abusing forever. I had to disassociate myself from this entire crowd and I did.
