I've been in AA since 2008 and so many people I meet were forced into treatment for legal reasons. And I agree that it's genetic, seems like the majority of people I've gotten to know say they come from alcoholic families. And the way one woman described it stuck with me. She said "I realized early on that I didn't have an 'off switch.'" That's what it was like for me. Good luck and remember that living sober isn't a destination, it's a journey. That's another quote that resonated with me...
