No I don’t think so. I had my first drink when I was twelve as have many people I know. None of us have become alcoholics. It is a matter of choice.

response from Mr E
make it look that way. If someone is considered clinically an alcoholic, they automatically assumed that an underage drinker were in life. I suspect that if you wish, these people will not admit illegal drinking in his youth. So the FDA or the federal government gets the result that Stat and concludes: “If you drink alcohol illegally is vulnerable to become alcoholic later in life.” This is a fallacy. It is said as “sex before marriage leads to unwanted pregnancies.” It may be true, but it is not only an act that is causing the problem. There is a lack of knowledge about how this problem that causes it is easier to ask verhindern.Es fingers underage drinking instead of a point in depth the issue of human heredity, environment or personal problems, while its actual impact dependence.

Question by kittenl182: Alcoholism to sobriety, then later social drinking?
I understand that alcoholism is a disease/condition and that it’s defined as a person who has no control over their drinking, usually combined with depression and that abstinence is the only “cure” (for lack of a better term).

What I want to know is, is it possible for a true alcoholic to reach sobriety for a long time (and possibly cure their depression), and later be able to control their drinking such as in social settings? Are there cases of rehabilitation in such a manner?

NO…Too many alcoholics fall off the wagon and can’t get back on. I come from a family of alcoholism…on my dad’s side…I won’t go into this because it’s not what you asked, but let’s just say he helped DESTROY us!!!!!! I am the ONLY one who doesn’t drink and that is ONLY because of my son. I have to be the example he needs. I quit drinking 5 years and when he was young, started back occasionally…Occasionally got to be more often, until I “visioned” my son 10 years later, getting ready to go out with friends, and I said, don’t be out drinking tonight and he said, why not you do it? Then and there, I swore, I’d NEVER drink again!!!!!! Do I still crave it? YES!!!! Was I an alcoholic? I honestly think I was and if it wasn’t for my son, I would have my liver messed up and all the problems, my brothers have.

wife left me and the kids…I am now a single father. Short story. She went kind of looney…dated guys…some half her age. Some older then her. Got addicted to alcohol, cyber,webcam sex some with 17 year olds..she is 35. She is currently in lvoe wiht an 18 year old from teh UK who she plays xbox live with and cybersexes with. Anyway she said this past tuesday that she lost feelings and trust for me and wants to go to counseling to try and sort this out and if it helps we can stay together if not move on. I dont know what trust she lost in me since I have been faithful? I filed for divorce about a yr ago. She was diagnosed bipolar in rehab but is not gettign treatment since she thinks she is fine. She also barely sees the kids and got a tattoo on her lower back after she left saying, ” Enjoy the Ride”
Anyway I said no to counseling since I am trying to move on….I think she needs help 1st. I thought maybe she would get help to better herself. two days later she said that she will now sign the divore paperwork once her benefirts go through at ehr job. (She is on my benefits) How do you go from wanting counseling to really wanting to complete the divorce in two days? She is hot and cold…why is this? Do you think she will want to stay marreid in two days? I just dont understand…its been this way for the apst 17 months!

Hummer Parts

I’m sick of running away from my emotions…….. and believe me i’ve tried everything, believe me (counselling, alcohol, drugs) ……. i’m doing this because, i guess i want to reach out and see if there is anyone else in the same boat.
OK well I’ve never seen my dad before (im 23) – i don’t know what he looks like (my mum burnt his pictures and he is a taboo conversation in my family). I know his name, i have his telephone number and i know where he lives – but what should i do about this????? Anything? Should I feel guilty (for ignoring my mums suggestions/going behind her back) and accept that maybe (she is right) he is not a good person? Maybe I should….
maybe i should take the 23 years of no contact (no christmas cards, no birthday wishes, he didn’t attend my graduation) as a hint that he isn’t interested in me?
But right now honestly feel like i need some affection from my dad and i’ve always felt i’ve missed out and that maybe i’m not as developed and as well rounded as other guys my own age. I’ve had males or “father figures” in my life – but i’ve hated them all with a firing passion, i don’t even exhange pleasantries with my mums new partner. I’ve never felt that i am a “normal” person.
I never fitted in at school (i was fat and hated football/watching football – i still do). I came from a catholic community in northern ireland and went to a catholic school – i got discriminated for not having a dad frequently by classmates, teachers and even members of my own family. I’ve always felt ashamed/embarrassed about being fatherless – very few of my friends know, every time i talk about him or even think about him i feel like someone is choking me.
At uni things got better for me, a lot better. I found myself and my personality and partied and had a lot of fun. I experimented sexually – but i wasn’t honest (and i’m still not) about this to anyone, except the people i slept with. I did often wonder, if not having a dad in my life is somewhat correlated to my sexuality – who cares, i ain’t no psychologist and i shouldn’t be justifying what i do, i am who i am and i’m happy with my life – for the most part.
what should i do? is it that simple? should i do anything? should i just let him go there? should i just forget about him too? is he worth knowing? maybe there aren’t any answers – maybe i should just forget him, i’m too hurt now – is it too little too late on his part?
im 80% for deleting him from my mind and 20% for seeing him and giving him a chance to explain.
