[QUOTE="katya02, post: 236211, member: 2884"] I looked carefully at the ******** Recovery program when researching therapy for my difficult child. I also looked at AA and 12-step programs. husband and I ended up enrolling difficult child in a 12-step related program. I've seen the difference in reaction to alcohol between my difficult child and my other kids, and husband and myself, for that matter. difficult child has always used alcohol in a destructive way ... a glass of wine with Christmas dinner led to him stealing an entire bottle of liquor to drink all at once downstairs. And so on. I think there is a very real predisposition that's genetic, so that any exposure to mood-altering drugs activates the disease. The disease concept truly doesn't remove responsibility. A diabetic has a disease that isn't his or her fault, yet he/she has a responsibility to behave in certain ways in order to manage the illness. If he/she chooses a destructive diet and lifestyle, the disease will progress and eventually result in death. It's really not different with addictive disease. [/QUOTE]
