While i'm at it. Alcoholism is a cronic, progressive, uncureable, desease that, left untreated, can and does kill people.
the treatment is simple. don't drink.
the problem is it's biggest symtom is "denial", people suffering from it "do not THINK" they have a problem. the LAST thing an alcoholic wants to do is quit.
they blame the problem on everyone and everything but alcohol.

I didn't want to quit drinking, i wanted to quit hurting.

think....think...think...
