I made a discovery today. That being..... This group of the forum. I had no idea what secular really meant. Not sure why but I didn't. I'm a fairly well educated fella but just stopped in at the newcomers & alcoholism boards because that was where I assumed I fit best. I am addicted to the buzz and taste of alcohol but I am not powerless. There are many diseases that are side effects of alcohol abuse but choosing to abuse is not a disease. It's just as stated a choice. I have decided to do a taper to prevent the withdrawal symptoms then make a decision to not drink. I can't moderate because I know I like it too much therefore I will choose abstinence.
Hoping not to rant but the other way seems so negative. I want to focus on t he positive.
