I agree Inc! For the first two months, I was both angry and depressed with the feeling that everybody else can drink but I can't. The thought of being able to drink moderately would have been a gift from heaven. Now, four plus months of not drinking later, I can honestly say that I no longer would consider drinking again, even if I "safely" could. Like you said, it has done too much damage over our lives.
Why open those wounds again?
On the other hand, it is fascinating to see that science is zeroing in on the causes of alcoholism and might one day help people much earlier in their lives than when we finally saw the light.
