well, if you're six years old, and exhibit certain personality traits - yeah.
There's a woman in the rooms who jokes that she's saving for one child's college, and the other child's first rehab.
(of course not when the kids are there)
but yes - there's certain personality traits that we share. I've said for yeras now that it's a personality long before it becomes a substance.
That's what I mean.
Alcoholism ... is far more than liquid.
Like if you've got the personality, but aren't drinking, you could be obsessed over food, eating, gambling, (or as in my cas) have a terrible affair with horses ... it's the compulsion ...
'
It's always around ... whether we're drinking or not.
There's advantages, too ...
for us, the colors are a little brighter, relationships a bit more intense, the sky is a little bluer ... stuff like that.
