Therapy is great imo, but we that are 'problem' drinkers drink because we're alcoholic. Therapy might make us 'well adjusted' alcoholics, but we'll still probably drink at the end of the day. I like to quote Toby Rice Drews on the subject, alcoholism is a primary mental illness, you can't even properly
diagnose an active alcoholic. TRD being a therapist, btw. Not referring to you, but get all of your 'issues' and neuroses worked out in therapy and you're still gonna be an alcoholic. Better to quit drinking, then use therapy as an adjunct.
