Going to a meeting

5 Types of Alcoholics from the Doctor’s Opinion

These excerpts were taken from the Doctor’s Opinion and in true Gangsta Recovery form are reprinted without the expressed permission of Alcoholics Anonymous www.aa.org. However, our motive is plain and simple to help people….

 

#1. The Psychopaths- They are over-remorseful and make many resolutions but never a decision 

 

#2. Unwilling to admit he can not take a drink

 

 

#3. After being entirely free from alcohol for a period of time he can take a drink 

 

 

#4. Manic Depressive type 

 

 

#5. Then there are the types entirely normal in every respect except in the effect alcohol has upon them. 

I like everybody else who reads the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous would like to think that they are the #5 type of alcoholic. However, this is not the case for most of us. 

 

 

The most important part of this page is the second to the last paragraph in which it reads…

 

 

All these, and many others have one symptom in common: they cannot start drinking without developing  the phenomenon of craving. This phenomenon as we have suggested, may be the manifestation of a allergy which differentiates these people, and sets them apart as a distinct entity. …. The only relief we have to suggest is entire abstinence.
