[QUOTE="hearthope, post: 23702, member: 2389"] I would say that the difference in a social drinker and an alcoholic is that the social drinker can say "No thanks, I have had enough" and the alcoholic can't do that. I would question a program that teaches moderation to a person that can't control the drinking. You said they changed his diagnosis from alcoholic once he was diagnosis'ed bipolar. He can not consume alcohol with his medications, so he would have to choose from treating his bi-polar or treating his habit of alcohol. I hope you find the answers you are searching for. But to me it seems like he just doesn't want to admit he doesn't have control and to work the steps he would have to. Do you think he is searching for an easier way out? Having his cake and eating it too? I am just throwing out thoughts, I don't know him. only you know the real man. I am just looking back on my dealings with drinkers. [/QUOTE]
