Thanks for your congrats, I think it is funny because when you are falling down drunk and manage to piss on yourself and lose your job and all the other things that I did, it is pretty hard to deny the problem. Unfortunately there are still lots of people who either cannot see that alcohol is causing a problem or they think that the problems that they have are managable. A different type of reality might be that you can go through life happy and sucessful without drinking. I also had occasian to question the amount and what happened to me when I drank. I had said plenty of times that I could quit whenever I wanted to but the truth was that I never wanted to because it felt so good to be drunk. Having said that, I do think that life for me is better without than it was with. Otherwise I would drink all the time. In other words....If I wasn't an alcoholic I would drink all the time.
