For non alcohlics, drinking in moderation can be responsible and not unhealthy. Lots of people are able to do it. Just as having a too much alcohol can be unhealthy, so can having too muchy sugar, nicotine, butter, caffeine.

SC, do you use mouthwash? Do you take medications? Are your children vaccinated again diseases? Do you take OTC medications for a common cold to relieve the symptoms of the cold?
All of this stuff is poison and unless you eat and drink and take all organically grown foods/herbs then you too intake poison.
You are too far gone to the other side of the spectrum. Drinking in moderation is not unhealthy and many doctors will recommend having a glass of red wine if you have trouble sleeping and for me, well I'd sure as hell rather have a 8 oz glass of red wine before I'd take a synthetically made sleep aid that most likely will screw up my immune system and cause other sleep problems. I'd also rather be treated by Homeopathy than convention Western Medicine. Works better, BTW, takes longer, but works on the immune system vs. the "bacteria" that causes an illness. In other words, conventional Western Medicine simply puts band aids on an illness, where Eastern Medicine works to heal the body to heal itself.
So tell me, if you are not a complete organic vegan, how can YOU responsibly put poison into your body via supermarket food and prescription and OTC medications?
Oh, I think I am quite sure what the answer will be.

ASpouse, I would like to add that I take an prescriped sleep aid. It is a personal choice. I choose not to have alcohol in the house as I come from a long line of alcoholics. I think you are overlooking that we all have free will. It is Sc life and she has to live it as she sees fit. We need to focus on encouragement and not bash someones choice. My opinion!!

Kerry, I am not bashing SC's choice, but surely she is bashing mine. I see nothing wrong with taking a sleep aid whatsoever, but saying that alcohol is intentionally putting poison in your body is ludicrous.
Most, if not all, unless you are an organic vegan or vegetarian, puts poison in your body also.
I also come from a long line of alcoholics ..... however I am not so wrapped up in that fact that I'm afraid to drink and most alcoholics or even border line alcoholics won't take any sort of sleep aid, even sleep aids are addicting ..... I know my husband won't, not even medication that may have mind altering medications.
Many years ago they said Paxil and the various anti depressants were not addictive ..... guess what? They found out they are!

Judy, I only take it as needed. I often go weeks with out using them. For myself, I prefer not to drink. My husband is in recovery so I don't have alcohol in or aroud the house. He is trying real hard, so it is my way of being supportive.

Yikes.......What happened to the original topic of this thread. Who the hell cares what each of us do, what kind of dogs we have. I drink, take a tylenol P.M. every once in awhile. I have a little weiner dog mut that currently craps all over the house. I am still legally married and live with someone else. Divorce is just a piece of paper, what is in your heart and mind is important. I was married for 23 years and just realized I was out of this marriage or should I say "detached" for 10 of those years. I will get a divorce, the paper work is just a pain in the ass, especially when Mr. Wonderful has been in prison of the past year. As far as a list questions, I look at actions. They can say anything, isn't that how are A's got us to insanity is THE WORDS. If they are good in bed go for it, if they can dance even better. GOD give yourselves a break. Life IS to short. The road to recovery is change, love, laughter and an open mind. It it OK if we make a mistake here and there. If I go to hell........ at least it will be warm and I will know everyone. LOL
