Hello,
I'm new here and maybe I'm just prickly but sometimes, I find people's tone a bit "unforgiving" and just this side of preaching. If you haven't decided you're not ready to quit completely, you get a: seems like just an excuse. When you fall off the wagon, you get: you don't seem that contrite, you don't express enough concern...
If alcoholism is a disease, can we at least accept that there is a part of it that is uncontrollable or hard to control ? Can we accept people's decision to quit a while, start again, quit again until finally we get it right ? How many of you, (us) have tried before finally quitting ? I'm sure a lot, so it might be nice to be completely completely open and without judgment at all?
I may be completely wrong but since it's my second day here, I thought I could express my views as an outsider...
