Alcoholism Recovery & Treatment

Question by Spaced Frehley: How can I convince a 27 year old lady that she needs alcohol rehab and Alcoholics Anonymous meetings?
She is a brilliant girl when sober, but glass in hand she is a fall-down drunk everyday who blacks out and says and does the worst things while drunk or blacked-out. She is a chain smoker too and I fear she is going to light herself on fire on of these times, or fall out her 3rd story balcony, or worse.

Answer by Maryn Bittner
Part of the way AA works is that no member discusses what any other member has said. They may reveal things which are deeply personal, and of course nobody wants that blabbed all over. They use only first names as one means of adding anonymity to the process of helping one another stay sober.

Answer by Lemanski’s Ghost
Of course it’s not so simple. AA recognizes a spiritual solution to alcoholism, so it is not a strictly biological disease in their view if spirituality can overcome it. They also tend to be negative toward things like medications to control cravings, depression, anxiety, etc. But it is certainly a physical condition within AA, and in their view it requires a metaphysical cure.
