I'm currently starting a treatment program for alcoholism and I just need to vent about others not being understanding. I hate how people tell me to "just get over it" and that if I wanted to just stop drinking, then why don't I just stop? I've tried explaining to them that it just doesn't work that way. If it were that easy, then I would just do it and that's that. They don't understand that this is a disease!!! *SIGH* I FEEL SO INCREDIBLY FRUSTRATED! AHHH!!! It's one of the reasons why I joined PsychCentral. I feel so misunderstood and judged so it's hard to talk to family/friends who don't want to even try to understand what I'm explaining. What can I do to make them understand? ANYTHING? Any advice would be much appreciated. THANK YOU AND HAVE A NICE DAY!!!
