How would an alcoholic living in illinois (dupage county) claim disability?
An “alcoholic” cannot claim disability anymore. This just goes to prove the 12 step program and the disease model of “alcoholism” is erroneous. It is assumed that all addicted people are pathetic dumbells who do not know they are addicted. The best thing to do is stay away from recovery groups of all kinds. Go to Books A Million and purchase a book—Rational Recovery–A new cure for substance addiction (By Jack Trimpey—Pocket Books c 1996) This will free your mother from addiction if she wants to be free. Also check out the website at www.rational.org. Good Luck and God Bless!
