When it comes down to drinking the choices in life become very narrow. Continue to drink alcoholically and have happen what so tragically happens in family's with an alcoholic, be despised by your loved ones. Or choose another direction in life that results in a freedom from alcoholism.
Fortunately there are many ways to recover from an illness that can someday prematurely kill a person. No one way is better than the other. Please pick a healthy new direction to go in.
