I guess its hard to tease out the relationship of the two. Does the mania "cause" the alcohol abuse or are they two separate comorbid disorders?
I know its kind of a heavy price to pay in terms of the time invested because going to a meeting every day chews up easily two hours of time.
But in terms of what you are describing, the forgetting of how bad it is, I find it to be very helpful to go and listen to people wank about the trouble they have gotten into over drinking. It reminds me of the downside which, for whatever reason, I'm prone to forget.
