A question I have never really found the answer to is why I became an alcoholic in the first place,was it genetic,was it cause my 1st love left me,was it boredom,I don't know,my looking for the answer will never be found but my reason for being sober is known and that is I'm in control now and not having my life controlled by alcohol.

I dont think there is a reason in my case other then the fact that once i start drinking i cant stop.

I think normies can drink on a good day or bad day or drink to ease some sadness or what have you and put it back down again. People like me its never just 1 drink its always till i'm falling down.

I don't believe there are any particular reason why anyone becomes an addict, I've heard people say it's genetic, in my opinion it is not.

I don't have a solid answer for that either.

I had to stop asking myself why b/c it was driving me nuts. Why can I drink normally sometimes? Why can I go weeks/months without a drink then go on a bender? Why did get 2 DUI's?

the why stopped mattering. I just knew I had to stop.

I agree i dont ask questions such as why i accept that it is & i am

My alcoholism was progressive and i have a history of alcoholism in my family

I used to get pretty analytical( and still can occasionally) on stuff like this.
A few questions I remember being asked:
How important is the answer?
Does it matter if ya know?
Will it change things if ya know
You sure you want to know?

And here I am remembering some of the questions and still don't have answers. At least I don't think I do. I might have gotten an answer and forgot though.
