In response to "musubi - re: AA" by Andie

I'm confused as to why you think I'm saying anything that contradicts that.

Perhaps I didn't emphasize enough that the choice is theirs to reach out and accept help from others? I thought I made that clear by emphasizing that they accpet they are powerless over alcohol, but maybe I'm not being clear.

Responses:

you seem to think it's a decision that can be made, at any time, by the addict. i'm saying, i don't think it is. -- nm - Andie Jan 20, 10:11 9
- Theoretically, it *could* come at any time. It mostly doesn't though. - musubi Jan 20, 10:14 4
  - i think we're really really close to saying the same thing - Andie Jan 20, 10:17 3
    - Perhaps on this point we'll have to agree to disagree. Getting help is a conscious choice that an addict has to make in order to recover. - musubi Jan 20, 10:21 2
      - yes, that i agree with. -- nm - Andie Jan 20, 10:25 1
        
        Hooray! Now, tell me how you feel about Carlton Fisk being a jerk? (nm) - musubi Jan 20, 10:28
- isn't that the "moment of clarity" concept? which could come at any time? though the addict probably has to wait for the moment of clarity? -- nm - TFox Jan 20, 10:13 3
  - well, like i said above, the general consensus is it happens when they hit bottom. - Andie Jan 20, 10:14 2
    - I don't believe it's simple, at all. I really don't think I've suggested it's simple anywhere on the past 2 boards, if I have it was not intended. - musubi Jan 20, 10:17 1
      - see above. :) - Andie Jan 20, 10:17
