Am I the only PROUD alcoholic out there?!
Answers:
I'm a little jealous. If I had continued to drink like a frat boy every night I would probably weigh 300 lbs by now.
Although I am not an alcoholic I do enjoy an occasional drink and I think if you are working and taking care of your children you are entitled to do what you want I don't think their is anything wrong with numbing your mind after Business has been taken care of As for your wife leaving you I do not know what the point was I think we need to realize we cannot control other people so enjoy all you want
You aren't an alcoholic. You are still very much in control...
your only a proud alcoholic until you run out of money...
Don't flatter yourself, you aren't even out of the starting gate.
not me. my husband left me.
your not an alcoholic. agree with the other person. you still have control of your life,
well there ya go!
erin go bragh!
I find it interesting that so many folks don't consider a person an alcoholic until he or she has crashed and burned. That's hardly definitive, and that semantic irritates me. Addiction doesn't always mean Anihilation. It probably doesn't mean it in MOST cases. Winston Churchill managed well enough on about a gallon a day, and he's one of MANY hardcore bibbers to whom the world owes a mighty debt. If we expand our concern slightly to include all addictive substances (and what is ethanol but a drug?), then the list gets long indeed- and probably includes half of the notable characters in your philosophy, literature, and art-history textbooks. MORE than half when it comes to great musicians and poets and such. Booze takes it toll on the boozer's physiology, no doubt, but so does living. Alcoholism neans "addiction to alcohol", not "loser". So long as the alcoholic can feed the need, it is possible to function in society. Nelson's fleet at Trafalgar were mostly roaring-drunk when they managed to defeat the combined French and Spanish navies- you call them losers?
Addiction stinks, but it is what it is- a physiological dependency, and not a character flaw. At least our questioner openly acknowledges the simple fact of his dependency, which is more than most drunks I know do, when they insist they only have a "couple" now and then...honest.
Wow, Are you my twin brother? I drink between a 12 pack and an 18 pack a day,of beer, I own a liquor store, I never miss work, I love my job, On my day's off I drink as soon as I wake up, In fact I take a couple of beer's on my way to the bathroom. My wife left me as well she said because I was a drunk, Then I found out she was cheating on me so she never saw a penny, The Liquor industry has given me a comfortable life style, No need to say anymore but Cheer's....
A Day Not Wasted Is A Wasted Day!!!!
