Interesting thread, reminds me of the you say potatoe I say potato rhyme. Katie, would defining it concretely as one or the other make any difference for you?
Bugs, I've got a questionn for you. I've recovered from the hell that was active alcoholism. So, am I suffering from a disease or an addiction? I know for certain that I have a reaction to alcohol that makes me crave more once I ingest any.SO I don't drink, I also know that I can't pull this off on my own will power so I am glad I have found a path that works for me.
So, is my alcoholism "dormant" at the moment or is it gone? Semantics maybe, you know my school of thougt, I'm not recovering today, growing and evolving as a human- yes, recovering no. Not cured, but recovered.
I'm Interested in objective feedback here kids, play nice.
