"I know I have a problem, but I don't want to stop."
Well, we've not heard that before.
Seriously, if you don't want to stop then you probably won't. I guess you will have to lose a lot more.
Good luck to you in your drinking.

But if ya don't want to stop, then getting into a program just to get people off your back for a while would probably be a waste of your time and money.
Whay is it about drinking you like?

I share that same disdain for surrendering or giving up.
I just can't come to grips with that. I allowed my usage of drugs and alcohol to dictate my life for so long, I feel that if I give up other things to make my recovery easier it's just another way of being controlled by it.
I may be cynical and stubborn but that's just how I feel. My girlfriend, while she supports me to no end and I wouldn't be dry today if it wasn't for her thinks I'm crazy for torturing myself like this.
