Things that irked me were you have no willpower or you're weak or something I saw on someone's fb was well I have had to deal with bad things and I didnt turn to drink or drugs so no sympathy.
However, now I know exactly what I suffer with and am not alone and now I work a programme of recovery I don't let comments bother me anymore. Normal drinkers will never understand alcoholics. If someone can take or leave a drink then they aren't going to be able to grasp the concept or the power of just having to have more and more and more and you know what? That's ok. I am grateful today i know what I am and what the solution is. I dont have to prove I am "right" to anyone. I know and that's good enough for me today.
