Y'all, I was challenged on something the other day and wanted to run it by other AVRT people.
So, Someone said to me, 'once an alcoholic, always an alcoholic', to which I simply said 'no, I USED to be an alcoholic, but I don't drink anymore so I'm no longer an alcoholic.'
And I believe that to be absolutely true. For me to believe that I AM an alcoholic is music to my AVs ears!
I was then told that I AM an alcoholic because if I drank again, I would resume my alcoholic drinking which means I AM an alcoholic. ( What?? ) My response was, well since I will never drink again I guess Ill never find out!
I feel like I didn't really know the answer to that second part...like maybe I missed something. I don't believe I'm simply an alcoholic on 'hiatus' but I'm not sure what to make of it either.
