I hear what you are saying, but the disease concept is medically accepted these days. The brain scans of addicts look different than normal people. Getting clean is easy. Staying clean is very hard. AA/NA does not work for everyone, but the statistic you quoted includes people who attend only 1 or 2 meetings. I believe in the 12 step process because it worked for me. But you do have to make a real commitment to the process. In any case, everyone is entitled to their own views on the subject, but I do believe the support of others can be helpful. In all honesty, I think Jack Trimpy is all about making money, and has no interest in helping people recover. He is a conspiracy theorist who debases all forms of recovery, and all accepted concepts related to addiction. I think he is a bit of a nut, personally, and promising instant recovery to people is irresponsible and foolish, and guaranteed to fail.
That's basically what I'm saying. Recovery is not something any counselor nor support group can promise to anyone. It simply boils down to a personal commitment. For some, the fellowship may help a lot. For other, it won't help. But, even for the ones who do recovery with the help of AA/NA, it still comes down to the same personal commitment to abstain. Without it, life will be one relapse after another.
Ewww... Job interviews coming up which means drug-test. I guess I'll be joining you poop-stabbers too.

Fuckkk I feel like I just crawled out the gutter I been on a 2 day drinking binge...I woke up in a strange girl's house sat.morning don't even remember hitting it.I must have the brod won't quit text me.I'm so done drinking for atleast 2 weekends gym gonna suck this week.
Id also like to add that the medical industry seems hell bent on creating addicts.
They have no regard for their patients it seems. Personally, the hipprocratic oath is a sham.
What im reading now is i may need to avoid people/places/things that trigger my desire to use. It seems anger triggers my desire to use. So How do you avoid your own thoughts? I believe im going to need anger management as well as treatment. Hopefully i can find a place that "does it all". Far fetched but we'll see.
I know im probably taking on more than i can chew. Im giving up multiple substances. Aside from benzo's, nicotine and alcohol too.
I do have a sense of control now because i can visualize this giant monkey coming off my back. I felt like a plane in a tailspin for the later part of 2010. Although Im very uncomfortable, i feel empowered. This is what will drive me. A sense of "control" is all i wanted.
wait until we get ya with the purple starfish stabberI wake up on days like today, not hung over and I wonder why I drink in the 1st place?
Strange addiction.
im on the boat too. I never had a problem really, i was a huge pot head till i got put on probation 2 years ago. I turned to drinking to fix that, and im a huge binge drinker. I cant drink 1 or 2 beers or have 1 or 2 shots.. I usually drink till i blackout or do something crazy.. And i smoke cigs like crazy when i drink and im allergic to smoke... I end up ruining my cardio and cough up big yellow blobs from my lungs for a couple weeks. Im gonna try and go a year with no drinking or smoking cigs. Word.
situpswtf is that idiot doing?
