1938_Packard Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 Radio spokesperson refers to herself as "long term recovering" because she hasn't had an alcoholic beverage in twenty years. Well, she's got me beat by more than ten. Kudos. But, I think it's time to stop saying "recovering" and just say, "recovered". Anybody who can stay off the shit for two decades already has what it takes to carry sobriety through eternity, should she live that long.

Skinko Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 That isn't how addiction works. If it was, I wouldn't know a handful of people that had 20+ years and relapsed. There's no such thing as "recovered." The addiction doesn't go away, and alcoholics and addicts still fight it every day no matter how long it's been. Hence "recovering."

André Toulon Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 If you knew even the tiniest bit about this, you would know that once an addict, always an addict. Just because she hasn't had a drink in 20 years doesn't eliminate the fact that if she has 1 drink, she could go on an uncontrolable bender and land herself right back to where she was 20 years ago before quitting. You are a dumb, uneducated, foolish old man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Packard is the type of man that I doubt has ever had an alcohol problem and uses this fabricated life event as a catalyst to be opinionated on matters that he has no business commenting on. Then again, he's a smoker that doesn't think smoke has a smell, so there is that huge chance that he's just dumb as fuck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Question: Does Recovery Centers of America involve a twelve step program? It's probably 12 Step based and I think it's up to the individual addict to say what they are as long as it's not complete and total fabrication. I for one, for myself only, if anyone else has a drug problem it's on them what they believe, don't subscribe to the once an addict always an addict philosophy. I smoke pot I drink occasionally and I don't think these things are a problem for me. Will I ever try heroin or coke again? Probably not and more towards definitely not as far as heroin goes. This is my long winded way of saying whatever works for the individual addict is fine and shouldn't be looked down upon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
