*grabs a cold compress*
I think you'll find you've opened a can of worms there ZA...
Anyway, to get to the main point of this post, I have been thinking over the past few days, that getting oneself off alcohol has nothing to do with divine powers or any of that stuff, and is merely a case of not drinking, and letting your body recover.
for some people this is obviously true - for others it is not - there's also many others of us dotted at various other coordinates along the continuum of recovery.
I think we'd do ourselves a great service here if we'd step away, even just a little, from universal statements.
what you find 'pretty laughable' others will be along to tell you saved their lives.
Please everyone - remember this forum is built on a principle of mutual respect.
