Quote From: losinendI disagree with you, so pardon me. It is not the drugs and it is not the alcohol that is the real problem. It is, and always will be, the individual who consumes them. It is people who makes drinking and druggin a problem. Sure, drinking and drugging can lead to serious problems like addiction and alcoholism; like fatalities; family problems, law enforcement, court involvement; loss of job; just to name a few among many. But, an individual can chose to stop at anytime, and I mean at anytime. Sometimes it comes quickly and sometimes it comes slowly. It's up to the individual on how bad he wants to stop and stay stopped.
GOD can only lend guidance, strength and support in recovery (if you ask for it), but it is the individual who must do all the work. GOD is not going to do it for the individual.
From an alcoholic..... I'm going to have to disagree with you. It is not only the people who choose. I don't care if you are an alcohalic. People have different types of alcohalism. For 16 years I watched my father stuggle with alcohal. I agree that it leads to all these problems, but I disagree that they can choose the stop at anytime. My father tried to stop. He lost his wife, his job, and his license. My father had seizures after three days without alcohal even on medication. So no not all alcohalics can choose to stop drinking. Alcohalism is a very serious medical condition. Not an easy one to drop. I lost my father this year in April to suicide due to this problem. I am a 17 year old young girl without a father due to alcohalism.. It is hard to get support when you are an alcohalic.
