I used to think the exact same freeowl i really did i can guarentee as time goes on your opinion will change
I never used to classify alcoholism as a disease i do now & that was recently too
I used to think there was a much higher number of alcoholics rather than the 10% i used to say the whole world was alcoholic but in reality thats completly false
I still occasionally have the thoughts your having now but in reality there is alcoholic & non alcoholic and we are of a small % (i cant believe im the one saying this if you asked me a year ago there would be a diffrent answer)
I dont think binge drinking is the same as alcoholic drinking binges stop after a weekend an alcoholic can go year round (not that i was happy about that tho)
