Chuck, thanks for all the info and the shared experience. I'll read this thread again in the future.

Do you ever discuss the other programs(mostly in Europe) that advocate teaching alcoholics to learn how to drink socially?



For people with an alcohol addiction, there's no such thing as 'socially drinking'. (If 'socially drinking' does exist at all!)



Yeah, that was essentially what the argument was about. One guy was from England and claimed that it was more common for alcoholics to be encouraged to drink without letting themselves loose control and that this is how you overcome your addiction. The other guy, who I'd known since elementary school as one of the most laid back people in the world, "disagreed".
