They should teach people skills on how to control or minimize their drinking as opposed to abstinence only which rarely works.

I don't particularly care one way or the other for chocolate but if I was told I could never have it ever again, I would immediately start craving chocolate. Also, telling people they have a disease is the excuse they use to justify falling off the wagon.

Once certain people have experienced many wonderful times drinking, it's hard to tell them you can never have that feeling again.

It's like sober life is mundane and boring, and drinking makes even the smallest things interesting to me.

That's exactly how the addiction works.

My oldest brother tells me the same thing.

He's been an alcoholic for 20 years.

 Rehab , for abc, xyz addictions, is just a start. It’s not a cure. It’s what one does afterwards that counts. NA, AA, GA
SA, CA etc etc is what 99% of the centers will recommend the addict attend after rehab regularly.

But they charge like it's a cure.

  Some do. But there are a host of others like Salvation Army and county funded programs one can go to for free. Minus the private chef, aroma therapy bs , yoga etc. They will all tell you the same thing go to a 12 step program regularly. Basically a 28 day program is an extended detox with some education thrown in.

Alcohol. Never touched a drug in my life.

But alcohol is just as bad. Even worse, because it's legal.
For most alcoholics it doesn’t end well. I believe it’s much more harmful than say cannabis. I’ve known and know people who alcoholism is out of control. Get yourself a medical marijuana card, Shitz.
