That is very interesting! I never thought of my alcoholism as something akin to schizophrenia, and had not heard that theory. I will have 14 years sobriety in June, and I have to say the "bottle as Siren" is a strong call for me. It always seemed like a choice not to take that first drink. Hmmm, very interesting.
There is growing evidence that alcohol effects alcoholics differently. Amoung my secondary school
mates I remember one who progressed to always being passed out from just having one drink in the space on 2 months.The alcoholics I have talked to report a high I have never gotten off of alcohol.
