Some think alcoholics can learn to drink moderately. Agree?

[QUOTE="Albatross, post: 630086, member: 17720"] I agree with you MWM. There is a group called Moderation Management that promotes people with drinking problems learning to drink moderately. I remember reading about how their founder was driving drunk one night, went the wrong way down the interstate and killed a father and son. To me, not having any control over alcohol is what makes a person an alcoholic. The only power an alcoholic has is whether or not to pick up that first drink; after that, the old "lizard brain" takes over and it's not a matter of rational choice. To try to control that is most likely impossible; at the very least, the tremendous work and analysis involved makes having a drink far from relaxing. [/QUOTE]
