Some think alcoholics can learn to drink moderately. Agree?

[QUOTE="helpangel, post: 630071, member: 7170"] Just my opinion... an alcoholic is a person who recognizes they have a problem limiting their alcohol consumption therefore they attend meetings and attempt to abstain from drinking completely. Yes occasionally they will slip up and drink but they are usually in an AA meeting the next day; upset with themselves because they are back to day 1 on their recovery again. My old neighbor "P" asked me one time if I thought she was an alcoholic? My response was "not as long as you are drinking all day every day, you are just a drunk" Me it was cocaine doesn't matter that it has been almost 20 years since my last slip, I will always be a coke addict for the rest of my life... some thinking 20 years (no longer an addict) but I had 9 years clean before that slip, and yes I was back at NA the next day and working the program. I also can't ever be around coke or anyone using coke. Just my opinion take what you can use and disregard the rest. Nancy [/QUOTE]
