There are a lot of factors that lead to a person's alcoholism: economic status, childhood traumas, mental illness just to name a few. And although we at AIFA believe alcoholism is very much a physiological, mental and spiritual disease we also believe that it often a symptom of larger and deeper issues people contend with. It is complicated. We as alcoholics are complicated. In today's show the guys discuss a few of those underlying issues that contributed to their alcoholism and ultimately their recovery. This is by no means an exhaustive search but it's a start. Thanks for listening..
