[QUOTE="zubenelgenubi, post: 5379445, member: 63706"] Nothing says you have to overcome every weakness in your life. But alcoholism is an avoidance coping mechanism. It's attractive because it alters your mental state and let's you avoid confronting whatever it is that you are avoiding. It also carries much higher risk than other coping mechanisms, as it physically harms you and those harms grow greater as your tolerance grows. Abstaining, particularly as you sort yourself out, is necessary. But, what happens with AA is that avoiding alcohol becomes your new avoidance coping mechanism, and you never address the real issue. I would recommend the approach of confronting that which you are avoiding, as it is likely causing problems in other areas of your life. [/QUOTE]
