Not to be a dick or anything, but your mom's choice to abuse alcohol is what killed her imo. Kinda like someone saying 'A gun killed. ....'. The gun didn't do it.cool! alcohol sucks and killed my mom.

eat, drink, smoke, dab (smoking) but to concentrate..the options are endless.

Sometimes its not a choice. That's what makes it a problem.
Do those pills make you feel better? Or do they just make you care less?

I hear you. My family has a very long history of alcoholism. I struggle with it myself sometimes. Most of the time, I simply admit to and accept who and what I am.
I have gone on several dry spells for one reason or another but dammit, I enjoy drinking. My age and getting smacked for irresponsible use has helped me do it responsibly.
I drink almost daily and admit to being a functional alcoholic.

I don't think anyone would suggest prohibition and I generally agree with what Londonfog and Harrekin are saying, that a glass or two a day probably won't ever hurt most people and should be considered generally safe. However, I'm not convinced that any benefits from a drink a day outweigh the known harms of even a couple. Even just a single serving has a minute negative effect on hepatic function. However, even a minute effect, even everyday, may never cause noticeable liver damage. It does however always cause liver damage. Moderate to heavy drinking, definitely kills brain cells, especially in developing brains. To me this all indicates that any amount of alcohol kills brain cells. If you want to hurt yourself, I think you have that right, especially if you enjoy it.
Cannabis however, is nontoxic.

I agree, it is always a choice, but it is certainly harder for some than others. Whether because of predisposition or habituation (in my opinion it is both) dependency is very real for many people. Anyone can get sober.

If you can quit smoking, you are strong enough to kick any addiction.

You have yet to prove how intelligent drinking is.
If it is not stupid then why do people congratulate you for quitting?
Fascinated people want to know!!

It is always a choice. The problem is that some people do not see it that way. Some of those people are drunks and some of those people are enablers.

You sound like you've been through AA.

AA meetings provide drunks with a place to socialize. I can see the appeal as a nondrinker, but the long winded autobiographical group therapy part really doesn't seem to do me any good. Some people see it as cultish and I can see why they do, but I don't see it that way. It is supposed to appeal to fucked up people, otherwise it would be perfect lives anonymous.

I did attend AA for a while but they are all about putting your life in gods hands.
My belief is that it is my life and I have to make the changes.
Quit drinking cold turkey 8-9 years ago now. Havent been to an AA meeting in over 10 years.
you gotta have a vice..leave the coffee or you'll just be hating on life..if you want to cut down mix half with reg and half/splash decaf (brewed).
