Hi everyone. I used to go to AA meetings and read the Big Book front to back, but now I understand that although AA people are SUPER helpful and nice and have lots of great quitting advice, I just don't believe alcoholism is a disease at all (not counting severe cases), and I don't believe that our drinking problem has anything to do with morality.. For the most part, I'm a normal person who happened to get addicted to drugs and alcohol by continuing to make more bad choices than good ones. This is at odds with AA philosophy. Anyone can become an alcoholic if they drink enough alcohol.
Thats why I like this forum as well!
