Please take this poll! Thanks!
I am very curious about your reasons for taking the poll. Are you doing a school assignment? Doing research? Writing a book?

It doesn't matter how much/little, how often/seldom we drank...the end result was alcoholism. I was told early on not to compare my drinking habits to anyone else's. By comparing, it's too easy to find a way to say, "Oh, I wasn't as bad as that...maybe I'm not really an alcoholic." It was strongly suggested that I listen to the stories and to identify with the similarities in our feelings and what drinking did to us.

I'm more curious about how people manage to stay sober once they've made the commitment to do so.
