Do you think it's possible for a recovered alcoholic to be able to drink again like non-alcoholics?

Question

I remember reading a while back about a controversial new rehabilitation for alcoholics where they teach you how to control your alcohol intake, not eliminate it. What do you think? Do you think this could work for some alcoholics?

Answer 1

No! never!  Not worth the chance!  Dumb idea!

Answer 2

That idea would be good for social drunks, no alcoholics.

Answer 3

Well seeing as how a "recovering alcoholic" would automatically fall off the wagon and turn into a "relapse" as soon as the smallest bit of alcohol passed their lips, NO. A recovering alcoholic has only 2 states oh being; you are either sober or a drunk. Stay sober.

Answer 4

Some, but not many.

Answer 5

Short and simple....NO!

Answer 6

No, that would just trigger them back up.

Answer 7

Yes.. It is possible especially when you are striving not to go back there which is being alcoholic.. There is nothing impossible if you really want to recover.

Answer 8

It would take a lot of self decipline and will power.  I think it is possible, but not likely.

Answer 9

I'm pretty sure if an alcoholic has even a few sips of an alcoholic beverage, they are not going to stop. The reason they are alcoholics is because they can't control it. I would have to find this hard to believe that this would be a part of rehab but you know there is always some quack trying to come up with the "all new" to make a few bucks.
