Thanks for the response! Yeah, I actually kind of favor this thought now of being that you can push yourself into it. At the time I heard them say that to me I was paranoid and wanted to start bawling because I'd found out I'd just ruined my chances at ever drinking normally again and it was all my fault. lol But then I'd just joined that-which-is-not-to-be-named and they said I was most likely born this way and it wasn't my fault which was a great sigh of relief. But I think I'll go back to agreeing with the therapists side...when I started drinking to get drunk I had like 4 close people to me die and I'd just started college and was on my own...I was at such a point of vulnerability that I think addiction would've been at a prime time for development and it did...but I guess there's no take-backs in life, and "if I'd only known then what I know now", but there's no need to beat myself with a baseball bat over it.
