Drug Rehabilitation that works

Question by NorthernCA/FL: Recovery from alcoholism. I go to more meetings than he does. Is that dangerous?
I have 18 months, he has three years. He was a drug addict as well (me, too–speed, but primary alcohol). In the beginning, we talked all the time about our program, our meetings, sponsors, Higher Power, etc. It has been five months that we have been seeing each other. He is also working nights, and going to school part time. I have noticed that he goes to a meeting a week, and is pretty cynical about the “sappy” people in AA, who “hide in the program.” I am one of the sappy ones…AA saved my life.

If a person does illegal drugs they call them bums and no-good junkies, but if they pop a bunch of pills they get more sympathy and are not judged as much as people who do heroine, coke, etc. Why the double standard? Isn’t taking pills all the time more destructive then a person who smokes weed everyday or that occasionally does crack?

Perhaps what I am running from will harm me more, than my alcoholism. What comes first. The trauma or the alcoholism?

I’ve heard of Rational Recovery but don’t know anything about it.

The game is notorious for destroying relationships and marriages, careers, and even personal health and lives.

First, I’m not defending to the cigarette…

But I think the alcohol produces more victims than the cigarette. Many people kill when are drunk driving a vehicle, fighting under the effects of the alcohol, or hitting drunk to her wife and children. Also, a lot of people die by cirrhosis.

I don’t know somebody has caused an accident to smoke, or the cigarette motivated somebody to fight and to kill another person, or somebody hit savagely his wife and children to be under the effects of the cigarette…

I think the alcohol is worse than the cigarette. However, every year, more billion dollars are spent in campaigns against the cigarette than against the alcohol…

Why to pander to the alcohol? How many trillion dollars are moved behind the industries of the liquor and the beer?

It’s a double moral.

An university professor said: “The alcohol is necessary in the society because it’s the drug that brutalizes… the governments need to govern brutalized people.”
NOTE: When I use the term “brutalize”, I mean to make to somebody idiot.” Please, excuse me if my translation to English is not the correct one.
