| Anonymous Coward User ID: 76221844  United Kingdom03/09/2018 04:29 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | WOW! After reading everyone's comments I've come to the conclusion most of you are cold hearted bastards. You would throw your own brother out in the cold....kick him into the curb. His disease is alcoholism. Would you do the same if he had Multiple Sirosis or Lou Geriggs disease? The solution here is to take the brother to AA. Take him by the hand. Tell him no more alcohol in the house. Set up tuff rules. Tough love. But don't ditch the poor guy. Jesus.... Quoting: Joe in JT 75049243  No, it is true to make him go. No more enabling. Alcholics take theirself to AA or they don't go. It doesn't work like that where y ok take them. Addiction is a tier. Sobriety is a tier. Even approached as a disease the person has to want treatment. People refuse cancer treatments too. When your sanity is on the line? The drunk has to go! Please don't guilt this person. Their brother has to go. They are AN enabler at this point. Why the fuck do people keep banging on about AA? Alcohol is the only drug that will kill you from withdrawal. Look it up! Im there at the moment trying my best sort it out. AA are religious nutjobs. They are fine to help you after the initial detox, if thats your kind of thing. But please, please dont expect a piss head to just go cold turkey. It can kill. I wish your bro all the best. Dont listen to the cold hearted dickheads on here. I would honestley, have cancer than being like i am know, clinging to booze. I think id have more of a chance of carrying on. Alcohol. The legal drug that keeps us where they want us. If a drug was invented that made you addicted, violent agressive, homeless, jobless and a complete down and out, do you think the Governments and leaders of this world would let it become legal? I think not! |

Quoting: Joe in JT 75049243 Sorry dont go along with the disease theory...You cant just stop a disease. If you have a real disease you cant just stop having it. Alcoholism is a choice my son is an ex alchoholic and he will tell you its not a disease it a choice. when he decided to be sober cause he did not like all the bad crap happening to him he quit drinking. cant do that with cancer... THIS^^^ Calling it a disease is a cop-out. Just quit drinking. Yes...I HAVE done it and it took a week to clean up. The rest was just making the right choice. WOW!

The disease is what got you there in the first place. Also, if it only took you a week to "clean up", then you really didnt have a problem. |
