Make me much for sympathetic to diabetic and people with allergies -- you can have it, I can't.
But it is what it is, and we be who we be. So accept I have -- abstinence is not control.
We got this!
I agree. I believe it's almost like perfect bliss for us alcoholics to be drunk. We get to be who we want to be and life seems less boring. I often find myself beating around the bush when someone asks me why I don't drink, it's almost like I'm embarrassed to say I'm an alcoholic. I will make excuses or just simply say "it doesn't agree with me"
