When everyone around me told me to stop and my life was crashing to the ground, I continued to drink and drug. When I had no money I always managed to come up with money to drink. Being on intensive probation did no stop me from boozing even though I had to take random breathaylzers/drug tests. Being without a roof over my head didn't stop me from boozing either. After overdosing & being admitted to the hospital I immediately signed out and walked a few blocks to the liquor store. I would say I had a lot of will power.

McGowdog (from the McGowdoghouse blog) certainly makes the rounds. I haven't seen him post on SR in a very long time until relatively recently. Although our ideologies are necessarily diametrically opposed, I do agree with some of his points. To his credit, he does recognize some valid concerns from the xA movement. I hope he will make a more regular appearance on here, as I do believe we share common ground in many respects.

Well I did learn the word "normie" from this forum.

I was referring to people who maybe aren't affected by alcoholism/addiction whatsoever.

I don't know. I'm sorry.
