Buuut there's still some people that I have a hard time explaining it to.
personally i dont have one single problem with the label of alcoholic, because now it is RECOVERED alcoholic. while i was working at changing me i was a RECOVERING alcoholic.
i dont have to explain anything about it to anyone. If people want to try and push for more, i simply say,"why do you need to know?"
or
"theres a lot of info on the WWW."
its not important for people to know and understand. the only one that has to understand is ME.
when im somewhere and offered a drink, a simple,"no thank you" has sufficed.
if they wana ask as to why:
"you aint got enough."
