oh yeah, I said it.

Responses:

in other words, i could be mad wrong, but nowhere in AA (I think) does it say "you aren't at fault for what you did". - TFox Jan 20, 08:56 16
- correct. - znufrii Jan 20, 08:57 2
  - perhaps, though with no non-speculative evidence to the contrary... -- nm - TFox Jan 20, 09:00 1
    - it just doesn't pass the smell test for me. - znufrii Jan 20, 09:04
- In AA, those people are often wired to 'need' the chemical bonds that booze gives them. - Will Hunting Jan 20, 08:57 12
  - this is way too hair-splitty for me. there just isn't a big enough gap between alcoholism and sex addiction to treat them completely differently. -- nm - TFox Jan 20, 08:59 2
    - I don't believe I'm treating them differently. Maybe I'm not following here. - Will Hunting Jan 20, 09:06
    - I agree with TFox. (nm) - musubi Jan 20, 09:01
  - Then how can they quit? -- nm - mara Jan 20, 08:59 8
    - You learn coping mechanisms to replace that 'need' for the bond - Will Hunting Jan 20, 09:03 4
      - And how is chemical addiction different? Yes, there is breaking the physical addiction, but it can't be "cured" without addressing the psyhological - pmb Jan 20, 09:04 2
        
        You're argument seems to be coming from the yes Tiger's a sex addict becuase he went to the clinic. - Will Hunting Jan 20, 09:08 1
        
        My argument is that you don't have a frikkin' clue whether he's in that boat or not. - pmb Jan 20, 09:10
      - but this is the *exact* same thing. -- nm - TFox Jan 20, 09:03
    - by manning up and not drinking. - groiny Jan 20, 09:01 2
      - Which means maybe those chemical bonds are not so necessary after all. -- nm - mara Jan 20, 09:02
      - by seeking help like AA/sex addition treatment, they are manning up double. - TFox Jan 20, 09:02
