Alcoholism, in my opinion, if left untreated, results in one course of action, drinking.
It's a mind powered disease, and needs to be treated, like cancer.

Tom,
I think you are right. I have found that I have had to make fundamental changes in the way that I think and interact with others. Sure, some of the way I acted was because of not being able to think straight when I was wasted, but some of them also seemed to be magnified by the alcohol. Maybe I am way off base here, but along with getting sober, I also had to do a total inventory of myself. I didn't like alot of the things I discovered, and it is not an easy thing to do. It had to be done, but I know I did nto like alot of the things I found.
Hope everybody is doing well,
Shawn
