Question by Neo Draven: What are your thoughts about how society caters to people with self-inflicted “diseases” like alcoholism?
Lately, everything is a “disease” or “illness”. You’re not a drunk; you have a disease that makes you drink too much. You’re not an overeater; you have a mental illness that makes you eat way too much. You’re not just a pill-popper; you have a chemical dependency disease.

I feel like our society is cowtowing to weak people, and just making them even weaker. Every time the APA convenes and invents the new diseases for the year, there’s always a new program or drug, ready-made to combat the new illness that was just invented.

This also causes people to make excuses for their vices. An alcoholic who is forced to go to AA meetings is immediately brainwashed and tricked into joining a religious cult that pretends that they don’t support any organized faith (yet, many of the 12 steps are religion-based). An alcoholic is basically being tricked into abandoning one addiction for one that’s much worse and more dangerous.

Question by cramtime: Problems with possible alcoholism?
Yeah, I’ve been drunk for the past 3 weeks, every single day, some days even twice a day. I’m in fact drunk right now as I am posting this. I’ve been told by quite a few people that I really need to get help, but truthfully, it seems to be the best escape from what’s happening.
I recently came back from Iraq, and I saw some shit there that most people probably couldn’t imagine. I was a hospital guard for the main hospital in Iraq, every injury came through that hospital. Well, I recently had a flashback, probably like 4 or 5 hours ago, and I was crying and all kinds of shit. I, at that point, decided to get drunk, (at that point there were other ulterior motives but that was the main point of me getting drunk was to get it out of my head).
Now, I’ve talked about this and I really have no idea what to do. I’ve talked about this with friends and it really doesn’t help, no matter how much people saying “talking about it will help.” It really doesn’t seem to help whatsoever with the flashbacks that I periodically have.
I’m not really sure what to do at this point. Any ideas?
Tameka, that’s what I’ve been thinking.
Troll attempt–failed. You suck at life.
Be More–I’ll still be drinking socially, but PTSD help does nothing but talk to you about it from what I’ve heard. Talking rdoesnt really seem to help at all.
Oh lol and AA is for quitters, I plan on drinking again, socially or not.
K passing out now, sorry Be More, I gave you a low rating didnt mean to sorry.

Problems Associated With Alcohol Abuse And Addiction

There are approximately 10 million alcoholics in the United States. On top of this staggering figure you can also add 20 million alcohol abusers. Most of these alcohol abusers are teens and college students. Figures show that 2 out of 3 adults use alcohol. It has been determined that over half of all suicides, accidental deaths and homicides are related to alcohol.

More than 10,000 young people were killed and 40,000 more are injured annually in accidents that involve drinking and driving.

As you can see the cost of using alcohol is high and these are just the human costs. Let’s also add the cost of productivity and health expenses that occur because of alcohol addiction and abuse.

Financially these costs are estimated at more than 100 billion dollars per year. The financial costs are also high for those 1 out of 10 people who do seek help for their alcohol problem.
