Maxwell, you need some schooling on alcoholism. First of all, I didn’t go through most of things I mentioned in my post. However, many people I know, who by the way are living happy and productive sober lives now, have suffered from many of those things. Degenerate has nothing to do w/ suffering from alcoholism. And it’s that kind of attitude that keeps people from copping to the fact that they’re sick and suffering, and in need of help — the stigma laid on them by people such as yourself. Wake up, brother. Don’t be part of the problem, and don’t be judgmental about things that you don’t know about.
