Paul - thanks - I appreciate opinions and understand if someone would rather relate to being an alcoholic vs calling themselves an addict. I guess where I get hung up is when its thrown around as facts.
I drank for 24 years. I have used cocaine less than 12 times. I chose to call myself an addict/alcoholic bc I feel the addictive mindset is what was affecting me. Again, this is just my experience and I am open to changing this as I become more enlightened.
appreciate your comments Paul.
