AA was absolutely essential to my recovery and I've been clean and sober for 41 years (I'm 83). AA/NA works if a person is serious about regaining sobriety and gets a good sponsor to help as a guide through the process. It often takes weeks/months of attempts at stopping before the addict can finally achieve a good level of sobriety. However, AA/NA can be an excuse used to keep using (I am drinking but I'm trying to quit). Nevertheless, 12 Step Groups help and have helped millions to live healthy, drug free lives.

I do disagree Doc,…. Alcoholism could better be described as a disorder. I believe that the definition of “disease” is being stretched here and may have been so due to medical billing issues with insurance companies in the USA. I’m Canadian, and we describe it as a disease here as well but again, most treatment that is ongoing requires insurance. So that’s my thoughts on why it got reclassified as a “disease”.

I understood that "alcoholic hallucinosis" is not limited to just while drinking alcohol. I think more often this occurs during withdrawal. I got it back in 2013. Thought that I heard my neighbors gossiping about me and there were people outside my apartment trying to kidnap me. Got dragged to the ER under the assumtion that it was the DTs. DTs are something altogether different, however. Different timeframe in which they occur, far more dangerous, and far more thorough in how they alter your reality.

Thank you for your content @Dr. Dos @A Psych For Sore Minds. This is a topic that hits very close to home. I am an enrolled member of a Native American Tribe in the U.S. and over the course of my life have not only observed rampant alcoholism/addiction, but have had that visited upon me with members of my own family (all male). So many tragedies and health problems associated w/it, as well as deteriorating mental health issues. I believe it is a disease. Even though it is a disease (the genetic risk factors associated, by themselves, seem to indicate disease) there are so many social ills associated w/it it is easier to be judgmental and punitive.

Agree with all of this my mum suffered with alcoholism her whole life....she had a tough up bringing, I always saw it as her just not wanting to feel or think anything ! It also affected me massively as I was aware of her issues from such a young age. And was in some v sketchy situations. I lost count of how many times she ended up in the local psych ward. She wouldn't drink every day but would go on 3 week binges where she drank morning from night,and would always end up in hospita lwith horrific withdrawals.then she would be sober for a few months it was all a big cycle She did abuse other substances as well. It took her life in the end, and it was me who found her unfortunately. Again that's affected me massively, I ended up being diagnosed with CPTSD among other things. It really is a family disease in my opinion and absolutely an illness nobody would choose to end up in some of those situations that alcoholics end up in !

I believe alcohol dependent is a better term than alcoholic. I have not met one alcohol dependent person who did not come from a difficult childhood. Poverty, neglect, abuse, poor attachments, death of a sibling or parent, unstable parents or domestic violence. After the shock of Covid passed, I decided to make the most of lockdown and stopped drinking to lose weight and I feel better.

The best book I read about FAS was " The Broken Cord" about alcoholism among Native Americans. It's heartbreaking.

@lc4011 2 жыл бұрын

Thanks for sharing @SarahMajor The Broken Cord was very informative but, also, was largely a self-pity lament by the adoptive father, Michael Dorris, who profited from the book and, later, the film by the same name. The Broken Cord was considered his memoir. As it turns out, Dorris was a professor at Dartmouth, chair of the Native American Studies Dept., but when challenged could not prove any association w any Tribe. He married a well-known and successful actual Native woman and with whom he has several non-FAS children. His adopted children later accused him of abuse, as did a couple of his daughter's he'd had w the writer, Louise Erdrich (Turtle Mountain Chippewa). He was a predator on Native people and profited financially and professionally by his fraud. He committed suicide while under investigation for the child abuse allegations. The Broken Cord still remains the seminal work on the subject of FAS in Native communities although, imo, it helps to know the whole story of Michael Dorris.

As an adult child of an alcoholic, who has been clean and sober since 1997, I believe a few things about alcoholism, after a lifetime of experiences in and around alcoholism and drug abuse. After witnessing my father's deterioration as a child, and witnessing the late stages of alcoholism, before his death, when his brain, liver, and heart completely shut down and killed him, he was only 42 and I was 15. I believe that alcoholism is possibly genetic, but more than that I believe that it's a learned behavior. And from personal experience, I believe that it can be unlearned, if it's caught in the early stages, and if you have a burning desire to change. That being said, I most importantly believe that it is a slow suicide, wrought with pain, depression, and hopelessness, interspersed with both good times and intermittent acts of physical violence, along with verbal and physical abuse. Though I was never the target of my father's outbursts, I did witness him screaming and yelling at my mom and hitting my brother's for no particular reason, other than he had too much to drink, when we were kids. So after living through this very painful childhood, and then drinking at an early age, and quitting long before it got unmanageable, I realize that I was meant to go through that, learn from it, and grow from it so that I could become happy. And after 25 years of sobriety, I got my health, hope, and happiness back. And aren't we all meant to be happy, clean and sober, and bursting with hope? 🪴 🙏🌞🙏

I havent drank any alcohol because of my narcolepsy and the heavy medication for it. In my friend group I am aways the sober one if we are going out so I am looking out for them and I can be the driver etc🤣 Also maybe it is a good for example my dad is really proud of that I have not drank alcohol because he has suffered from alcoholism all my life. Dads side of my family suffers from alcoholism my grandpa was a alcoholist and his dad was too. My uncle is a alcoholist and my brother isnt but he is still a heavy drinker so I am worried if he also some day gets it too. And yes alcoholism is a disease.

I was put on addicting pills in my late teens, I'm 29 now and still hooked. Adderall, valium, xanax, gabapentin, but benzos are the worst. It is basically impossible to stop without having nonstop seizures or death. I know alcohol is like that too. But i dont drink. Just my prescriptions, cigarettes and ganja. I have PTSD, high functioning autism. Im very smart with a high IQ. I also take lithium, prozac, lamictal, caffeine pills. I know its horrible. My panic attacks and anxiety doesnt seem to ever go away. Ever. I have bad anxiety , depression, paranoia and autistic. Yet I can function around people easily. But each day is hell and always has been. Mentally fucked since a toddler.

Unfortunately I am going to make things more complicated by adding a Cartesian duality to the problem of "alcoholism as a disease". Alcohol dependence syndrome can be understood as having both a physical and mental quality... when physically dependant i.e. body suffers withdrawal symptoms when without sufficient maintenance I would understand this as a disease in the usual sense. However the psychological dependence of " I need alcohol to do x y or z" or "I won't be able to cope with this or that without alcohol" I see it not as a disease but a maladaptive coping mechanism which may have provided some solution to immediate problems during stress but has become an overgeneralised coping mechanism that becomes habituated. However in all of this a main problem is the voluntary vs involuntary notions of action when it comes to any substance misuse problem... can we really say either way? maybe the answer is that it may be voluntary to a restricted extent in that we have a set of choices in any given circumstance but that we don't necessarily get to choose which specific choices are presented to us and that with our inherent emotional-experiential biases the choice isn't always a wholly free one. I hope the above wasn't too far out
