Hello spiced -
I'm sorry you're sick.
But how great you can get here from a hospital bed?
For the most part -
the posters here at SR tend to go by the descriptions
outlined in the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous.
Not because it's liek a rule or anything -
it's just handy, and used in almost
every recovery program there is -
including the AMA.
I think using the same definitions
helps the new reader here
understand exactly where they are on the scale of alcoholism.
I hope you are feeling better soon
and will get a chance to look over
the descriptions in the Big Book.
Communication is vital
in early recovery
and the phears 'keep it simple'
works.
