Its scary because its so flipping true. Any alcoholic can look at that and see their drinking years in those lines.It would put your hair standing on your head. Heres another which is sort of similar. https://www.mywayout.org/community/f1...oem-47765.html

Feels like the devil is speaking to me. And I believe it.

Cinders, loved your post as a rebuttal. We must know both sides.

I know i am putting it mildly but she was sure in a reflective mood.

A truly brilliant post as usual Mario and I'm not at all surprised it is quoted from an inmate. As a correctional officer, I observe the aftermath of alcoholism every day. Alcohol and drugs are still the motivation for most offenses. I applaud you for such an insightful post and look forward to many more.

WOW, Mario, Cacky, Cinders and Hippie! What great posts! It's the honest to God ugly, frightening truth that needs to be addressed to everyone! I'm going to print it out and also buy the book you mentioned, hippie. Thanks so much! Love, Vicki

Such a great thread to keep coming back to. Vicki-I saw this last week and bought the book right away...I am hoping that after I read it, my 2 boys will read it also.

Mario, I posted this many years ago in General and was thoroughly attacked. I was never sure why. I'm glad people read it this time and understood. Thanks!!

Hi noelle,
As we are getting more knowledge about alcoholism its not as threatening now as it was,I am just guessing but maybe people were afraid and in denial about it then ?
