I know I, personally, can never be a Social Drinker.
I think it's somewhat dangerous of them to tell people that "Sure! You Can Drink Socially, just get to the bottom of your issues and the 'addiction' goes away!"
I can't drink socially and I cannot drink responsibly. After two months sober I drank one day because..well no, I used being stressed out about something as a reason to drink. All it took was the first night, then I was on a bender, and I've been struggling mightily ever since then. Two, three, seven days sober, then bam, a night of drinking. And it's made me miserable.
The same thing would happen if I ever tried to drink socially. And, frankly, two or three drinks would just tick me off. I also notice the attacking of AA.
One thing in AA is that I haven't heard many people in AA attack other treatment paths, instead saying "whatever works for you, do it."
I am interested in this woman who started some other path of rehab that said you COULD drink, and she ended up killing someone in a DD accident?
Does anyone have any links about this or know the woman's name?
