5. Well, since this is the Addiction and Recovery Group, alcohol is not safe for most of us

I've learned that some of us have a genetic predisposition to abuse alcohol - and I'm one of them - that once we start, we just can't stop. I've known people who have died and even more who have ended up in real trouble so this is an added incentive to "put the plug in the jug" for good. It's not always easy, especially in a society that depicts drinking as a way to have fun, but it's far from that for those of us who can't drink safely.
