Randy Has Been Dependent on Alcohol for at Least Ten

Randy has been dependent on alcohol for at least ten years. Drinking has ruined his marriage, his occupational standing, and his health. If a friend told Randy that he needed to enter treatment, and Randy responded the way most alcohol dependent people do, he would probably say

A) "Alcohol is my enemy but I don't think I am strong enough to combat it."
B) "I have an addictive personality and without help, I will never overcome my addiction."
C) "You have a very good point; I need to do some serious thinking about getting treatment."
D) "Who do you think you are attacking me? You are the one with the problem."
