well, I drank all day everyday for more then 10 years. And I quit.
I still wouldn\'t let someone bitch me like that. Being sober is one thing, being a wuss is another.
Ok, so James didn\'t feel like knocking Lars out, he\'s a friend, might have broken teeth or something, allright I can understand that.
But for gawds sake get up and throw that little fugger over the table or something, don\'t just sit there and take it and look like you\'re trying not to cry. Sober does not equal wimp. At the very very least, get up, get eyeball to eyeball and put them vibes out like, "say one more word and you\'re gonna die." Don\'t just sit there and take it.
I applaud anyone that quits drugs or drinking for thier kids. It\'s damn hard. And there\'s alot of shame that goes with it if you can\'t kick the habit. Noone wants thier kid to say, "my Dad is a drunk" or "my Dad is a junkie"
It IS a disease, some people just cannot stop. It\'s alot like food and hunger for \'normal\' people. You get hungry, you start thinking about food. If you don\'t eat you get more and more hungry and think more and more about food until you feel sick and you can\'t think of anything else.
That\'s exactly what addiction is like, whether it\'s drugs or alchohol (though I do consider alchohol a drug) you get \'hungry\' and then you can\'t think about anything other then, "where\'s my next shot of Jack Daniels?." If you think of the driving compulsion that forces you to eat, or sex, that\'s a good compulsion too. You can understand addiction alot easier. Some people can drink, put it down, and never touch it again. Some people drink that first drink and then can never stop drinking.
It\'s sad. And in todays atmosphere where drinking is allowed and permissable, it\'s very easy to become a drunk. Hell, where I live, they got drive-thru liqour stores. If THAT doesn\'t say there\'s something wrong around here, nothing does.

Alcoholism is a disease, but it\'s the only one you can get yelled at for having. Goddamn it Otto, you are an alcoholic. Goddamn it Otto, you have Lupis... one of those two doesn\'t sound right.
