Oh I know that first part. My goal was to not get to that point. You also think that just because someone is not that far doesn't mean they don't need support? That seems odd. Don't you think for all of those alcoholics it would have been nice if they had gotten support before they got to the point of being an alcoholic. If it is as simple as drink a moderate amount and be done with it, then thats all we would have to tell everyone who is not an alcoholic yet and nobody would ever become one. But it is not that simple and you know it.
