Sounds paradoxical, or like I am brainwashed, or worse... Doesn't it?... Actually, none of those things apply... I think for myself, I'm educated and am reasonably intelligent.
I asked you before, early in the thread, about choice... Do you think you have the choice? If you can choose not to drink, every time, what's the problem?
Good thread by the way, and glad to gave you on SR!

Hi Marks thanks
it great being here too
I joked to my partner that i now am getting addicted to the addiction forum !!
I think it is about choices, but various factors make me and others make the wrong choice.....the choice that is not logical ....or bad for you
My belief is 30 years of reinforcement and conditioning have led to an over dependence on alcohol , even to the point where I will "neglect" my physical health needs.
I am 44 have health of a 60 year old but the mind of a 20 year old !
If you abdicate your choice to drink as you say - who to? ?
Surely we cannot abdicate responsibility for our actions? where is the integrity in that ?
