It's a disease that has them by the soul. They will do anything and everything for it. Just when they think they are okay, it comes back to bite them in the arse. Even if they want it more then anything it's very hard for them to stay sober. The disease creeps up and gets them thinking 'maybe just on to see if I can handle it'
It is a NEVER ENDING battle. I've seen a few recover and I've seen some die. More die then get sober sadly.
There isn't much in their mind but 'when can I get my next drink'........if you stand in the way then you are the bad guy.
What is it that you exactly want to know?
