I left an XABF two years ago. He keeps doing what he has always done. And will continue to do until God knows when. Maybe only death stops him. He said that is what he was looking forward to all his life.
Drinking.
12 beers to me, equals a raging alcoholic that has been for years now, is now tolerant.
I know "only they can call themselves alcoholics" but come on.
It all depends on how much of your life you want to miss.
