I haven't analyzed any recent whine posts but I do think that the average "whine" is more about the choices we did not make; the things we cannot control that can be very painful. As you choose to give it your all, so many others do the same. It is not easy to see the forest through the trees when the whole picture is not understood. This site, al-anon, counselors and the like help to bring the whole picture into focus. I remember whining many, many years ago. I was looking for answers that I wish I found then (e.g. dry drunk behaviors that were learned...and not from being alcoholic on both of our parts)! My husband was a social drinker that turned alcoholic after many, many years. We all come from a huge variety of circumstances.
