Robin Williams on Alcoholics

it is kind of sad
as Mr. Williams hit's the truth on the head (in a funny way)
although -- not that funny now that he is gone

Something to do with the pills. Or maybe he was on the sauce again. I do not know. Funny guy, I will miss him dearly.

So sad. I personally believe that most alcoholics have other mental disorders; such as depression... that we (I) medicated with alcohol.... Recovery is about so much more than just not drinking. But, seems to me it is quite difficult to get the correct treatment.

Robin's description of likening "thinking we can drink" to "looking over the edge of a skyscraper thinking we can fly" is spot on.....

I hope his soul is at peace.

"you will violate your standards quicker than you can lower them" ugh... that one hits home. He left off, "followed by yet another day full of self loathing because you just KNOW you're better than how you're living/acting."
