Congrats on Day 3!

It is not for me to judge whether someone else is an alcoholic or has a "problem." If I'm too busy measuring everybody else's level of addiction, I'm not focusing enough on my own.

What/when/how much somebody else drinks is their business, not mine. Comparing ourselves to anyone else is futile; we have no idea what journey they're on and it's not for us to save the world, only ourselves.

There's a reason I chose the world "Humble" for my SR name...I don't always measure up to it, but I continue to try...
