Alcoholism...
1. Is a progressive disease that doesn't discriminate.
Add to this. Please keep it to what would be okay to say in public, at a recovery center, to an addict/alcoholic, friend or family member.

Alcoholism has the ability to trump your highest value. Until today, I am sad to say, my husband would at least be honest if I asked him to place his hand on the Bible. Tonight he did it twice and lied twice.

Sucked the life out of me.
I like to have fun. I have a twisted sense of humor. I love embracing life in healthy ways. Thank you, alcoholism, for showing me what I don't want in my life. Thank you, recovery, for strengthening me so I can enjoy walking my own path, with clarity and ease.

today and am just now seeing your post. Thank
you Mango for reminding us about that because
it is important and true.
From all walks of life addiction does not discriminate. Amen.

...is the nastiest beast I have ever encountered and does not discriminate or show mercy. It is insanity that takes all in its path to their knees!
There is recovery for all and recovery from being the spouse and child of an alcoholic is the hardest road I have ever traveled but as I see progress in my recovery I am finding freedom from the clutches that alcoholism has on the whole entire family!

Alcoholism is a progressive, fatal disease, which does not discriminate in any manner.
It doesn't matter how much money, property or prestige a person may have, how many diplomas a person may have or what ethnicity a person may be (although we Irish seem to be particularly affected).
