I frequently go to NA and AA meetings and have been through a few months of corrective thinking rehab classes. I'm not very well received when I laugh at them when told that alcoholism is a disease. I think this way of thinking tries to make us every bit as irresponsible for ourselves as abusing drugs does. Labeling alcohol as "cunning and baffling." I'm surrounded by people who are following some steps that are god sent. They label others who do not adhere to their new found way of life as sick people. At those classes we are constantly told we are worthless pieces of shit and our best thinking is what got us here, so we are not normal and need to be shown how normal people live. While some are in need of guidance, I'm surprised at how many people suck this shit up and then proceed to look down on people who didn't jump on the same boat. We are constantly told not to hang out with "old" friends and at meetings I hear an array of messages just regurgitated over and over. Guess I just got to play along and make this as quick and painless as possible. But when it gets around to my turn to speak sometimes I can't help myself. What I'm really after at those meetings is hearing somebody else's ideas other than Dr. Bob's. I got kind of off topic, but just wondering what the consensus is on this disease.
