Maybe I'll ask a question. Warren did you ever drink when you didn't want to? When you had every reason not to? You don't need to answer this question to me or to anyone else on a public forum. Just be honest with yourself and examine your own experience.
The people that have really helped my recovery asked me questions when I had a question. They helped me find the answer within myself rather than telling me what my answer should be. It is called dignity.
