Stop referring to people with problem drinking as "alcoholics"
That helps No One
Only 10% of problem drinkers are alcoholics
That means they can change
Stop It Stop It Stop It !
Stop calling problem drinkers alcoholics and condemning them for life into a lie.
One example: Johnny Manziel, NFL Pro
And how on The Dr. Oz Show, during the latest stunning conversation with Charlie Sheen, Dr. Oz said in reference to Manziel,
"I love talking to alcoholics, for example, who have stopped drinking, because they have insights I can't possibly garner."
Whether or not Oz had a conversation with Manziel or not (and I'm not into football, but this story caught my attention), Stop Calling Problem Drinkers Alcoholics!
Just STOP It!!!
That's SOOOO old paradigm.
That's SOOOO CultAA-speak
Only 10% of problem drinkers are alcoholic.
With The Intention Of Achieving Balance And Control Over Drinking And Being Fully Deprogrammed From CultAA--which I am learning to forgive, and let go of. Research teaches us that 1 out of 3 people are problem drinkers, but 90% of problem drinkers are Not Alcoholics and can change.
My Drinking History: Over four decades of mostly problem drinking, five drunken-related arrests in my 20s (the early 80s), of abstinence and binge-drinking, of trying moderation and usually-or-often failing, of being immersed in almost every other recovery group out there, but of being mostly sober.
