Does anyone else think this viewpoint is flawed? I feel insane for thinking this but every time they ever brought this point up in a meeting it always felt like the wrong thing to teach.

Like, I'm not an addict anymore because I have power over substances. I can still smoke and drink a couple times a month because I have the power to choose and drugs and alcohol don't control me anymore.

I'm sure some people in the program can't have a drink or they'll relapse but I'm completely fine to have a few drinks now and then. I know some guy who didn't even want to take church wine communion because he might relapse. But that's him, it's not me.

I have power today. I am not powerless over substances anymore.
