I've been in this kind of, daze of indecisiveness... The only possibility for a rational or non-biased opinion I found to be here, mostly because this is completely off topic for this forum.
It feels like there are two sides- either you are an alcoholic/addict or you are strickly not. I am 20 years old and went to rehab over 3 years ago. I most definitely needed it.... But I feel like I was fed a lot of information while I was really low, and now...
What I'm really trying to get at is- ARE THERE PEOPLE out there, that have recovered from addiction? Like don't-have-a-problem-recovered. When will power is built up can it be overcome with knowledge and mind power? Are there honest, open-minded, healthy people who once had a problem but now have a drink every once in a while? I think if anyone said that in an AA meeting the whole room would think "riiiight keep coming back *cough* alcoholic"
Anyways, I just wanted to know if anyone had some 'outside' opinions, that would be constructive.
p.s. This is the only forum I belong to, and there is a well balanced melting pot of people that peruse these threads. If anyone finds this offensive or misposted I apologize in advance.
