Maybe it's where I live or something about me that turns people off. They just see me as somebody they don't want to get to know. I hate to say this, but this problem will probably mean a terrible alcoholic death for me. I understand it's a terrible way to go, but I just don't see any other options. I shouldn't see it this way, but at least I have good health insurance that will care for me until then. I find a lot of comfort in that. John
Don't think I'm unique Steve. I fit in well with the people at the meetings. I think they see me as unique. All they gotta do is say maybe "hi, how's it going"? or a "what's up?" or just a nod. Geeze man, what's wrong with these people? And I won't buy what people say that, well, we are all sick. That's just an excuse to act like an a##, like excuses to drink. There's no excuse to be rude, intolerant or just nasty. Just because someone is an alcoholic at a meeting doesn't mean that gives them the right to treat people that way. John
