bagger Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 How does alcoholism develop though? Not in the same way as diseases like cancer, MS, Alzheimers etc etc. Just a thought. Not a criticisim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bagger Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 I am very grateful to all the people who help me on a daily basis in my struggle with this crappy drug. Julado particularly has been there for me and put up with no end of brown stuff as a direct result of my consumption of this legal drug, I would like to both defend her and publicly thank her for ALL Her support and love. Perhaps if other substances where more easily available, then lots of people in this country wouldn't have such major issues with Alcohol? :banana::banana: Perhaps there should be organisations dedicated to understanding why people choose to seek oblivion with substances legal or otherwise. And then helping them to live life without trying to blot most of it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medusa Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 Any chance we can move on from a disagreement about what constitutes alcoholism and get back on topic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nefertari Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 I've never heard of any such organisaton but it sounds a great idea. As for the other comments on alcoholism I think if people don't understand the disease they should keep quiet or perhaps read The Big Book Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nefertari Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 tarring all alcoholics with the same brush is ridiculous. But they basically ARE the same because they are suffering from the same disease Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

medusa Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 Did my warning above make no difference? Would you prefer me to not bother warning you before I ban you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
