Comment on It's almost impossible to deny being an alcoholic without sounding like an alcoholic

  Therapy doesn’t stop an addiction. Cessation does.

  You’ve already admitted you can’t control your drinking and have to rely on other people and random chance to do it for you.

  You do you though.

    Yeah that’s not what S.M.A.R.T. therapy said, and it’s both evidence-based and grounded in modern therapeutic practices. I’m sorry your only experience with addiction therapy has been the hyperreligiosity of AA.

      Your “therapy” is SMART meetings? Remember when they had to shut down their 24/7 chat because of sexual predators?

      But yeah, I know nothing about that, according to you. Also, I’m somehow religious because I think a self admitted alcoholic shouldn’t drink?

      There’s also secular aa meetings where people openly bash religion, but what do I know, I am super religious after all /s

      Have fun buddy.

      Anyway I’m going to keep drinking the single beverage my life partner brings me at parties like I have for a few years now.

      I couldn’t help but picture something like that 😂

        Honestly my main thought looking at that is literally just oh god how much would that bill be.

  When I replied, you didn't have all of that info in there. Good for you though, if it works then great!
