When I told them they had a problem, it blew up.

Until folks want to quit, nothing will change them.

Thanks.
Thanks D122y,

I know you're right. Nothing anyone said to me made a bit of difference until I decided I wanted to quit. Life is just so much better sober, I sometimes feel like shouting it from the rooftops. But I won't. Because I don't want to look crazy. And I'm scared of heights
