I've never been to an AA meeting, but from what I've read on this board, I'm not interested. haha.

To discuss the "Is alcoholism a disease?" question, I believe that it is based on my own experience; my great-grandfather was an alcoholic, and he committed suicide while drunk. Also, I was hooked right from using immediately. (I have ADHD too. Maybe that had something to do with it?) Of course, your decisions and ignorance make the whole problem worse, and you need the treat the problem to have it go away.
