You are obviously so involved in RAD that you cant or wont here anything else
Look up the say alcoholics...true alcoholics....process alcohol
The fact that some folks with mental illness use alcohol to feel better is not what alcoholism is
I gather you've never heard that alcohol is for alcoholics the anesthesia of choice for the pains of living--as flawed folks in a flawed world.
Sorry we weren't able to help you learn something useful about RAD and alcoholism. The professional links may help others make useful connections, however.
Cheers.
Perhaps it would be helpful for you to elaborate at great length about what YOU believe alcoholism is. I’m very slightly curious about that.
