Ahhhhh..freedom of choice..... how can you help those that refuses to help themselves...to some, it's a way of life...to others, it's a living hell...to me, I earned the way I choose to live my life...it's easy to sit back and classify and point fingers...me, I'll just sit this one out...with a cold brew and pain medication from the V.A.....another way of life...there are many trails down the path of life...just choose one and follow

 Lingtaowoo......That is what it's all about, finding what works for you.  I have friends that drink alot but aren't Alcoholics. I always anted to be one of those kind of drinkers ha ha ...........But I wasn't....

 An alcoholic is someone who has to drink. Someone who has to drink just to make it through the day.

According to criteria for a condition to be considered a disease, I guess it is so.

I think some people have a hard time understanding alcoholism as a disease, because we're so inundated with ads for alcohol. Since it is so freely advertised and legal, people see it as a choice and have little sympathy for those who are caught up in the "disease".

 The difference between a drunk and an alcoholic....is that a drunk doesn't have to go to all those meetings.

In the imortal words of Homer Simpson, MMmmmm, Beer.....
