I'm beginning to see the science behind this. That there is something very medical and real behind the simple decision to drink. That's why I'm curious as to what aa thinks of as far as what the "disease" is. This week has been like an awakening for me. Alcohol has always been a problem for me. I was just able to keep it at bay/ it wasn't an everyday or consistent problem until 6 years ago- when it became chronic. Yes, it's a choice to drink. But I'm realizing that genetically/ biologically/ however you want to look at it- I came at that choice very differently than some.
