Its a difficult call, for sure. Especially in this day and age with so many different addictions. When AA started, it was pretty much just alcohol. But now.....I mean its endless the amount of addictions out there. For me, I'm a total alcoholic, simply because I was never introduced to anything else. While I identify with any addiction, I identify most to other alcoholics. Though I believe a drug is a drug is a drug and alcohol is a drug. So its rough. My bf's big trigger is pot. While some scenes in movies with alcohol bother me, scenes with pot bother him more. Since it wasn't my trigger, it doesn't bother me. I think it just really boils down to what you identify with. If you identify better in an AA meeting, maybe there's some alcoholic tendancies there as well. But this "ism" is what we really all suffer with anyway, until we begin the recovery journey.
Ok I don't think I've made any sense hahaha. I'm off to a meeting.
