More on the Disease Concept

Somebody asked me the following question:

"Who was it that Told you that alcoholism is not a "disease" and how
were effected by that

Here is my response:

A Christian minister told me (paraphrase) that alcoholics run around to bars DRINKING like their is no tommorrow and that their lives are one hell of a mess and then one day they wake up with a horrilbe "DISEASE". He used the word DISEASE very sarcastically.

I realized at that time that really Alcoholism wasnt what they had been attempting to 'teach" me in AA for several years and which I could never really buy into.

My "Alcoholism" or dinking was really a result of my life of sin.

It was scary to realize the truth, but yet it is the Truth that sets us free not lies.

That realization and the accompanying realizations started me on a journey of the Christian Life.

I wont say that has been easy or without setbacks as I was a very corrupted and Evil person. But I know the way I am going is right.

Im afraid all those who buy into the "disease concept" of Alcoholism are buying into lies. They are unwilling to face up to the fact of their sinful and immoral lives and their are plenty of people in AA who will help them believe it.

Frankly, I fear for their souls.
