. Humor is great. Laughing is great.
Ultimately, ask yourself which you want more: To be happy, or to be right.
actually, i was dead pan serious, well maybe madpan serious, but i still very seriously agree with what i posted and there was no humor intended.
however your response is kind of good in that it did lighten the load for a minute and i did find humor, but my family does this too.
if i bring up alcoholism & that i need to take this seriously, my dad makes a joke.
i'm not joking about these things and i've gotten to the age & stage of alcoholism where the jokes over.
i do have a good sense of humor & should keep it, and very glad some of you have it too, but what i posted is not a joke and affecting millions of peoples lives.
i do not like or find much value in the morbidity in some recovery programs and do not want to further account for nightmare experiences, i hope that is not what you are looking for to take me seriously.
