no, anybody's welcome here. but if all you're looking for is a reason why you *should* be allowed to drive around drunk, you're probably not going to find it here. because the truth is, you (and me and everybody else) *shouldn't* be allowed to drive around drunk. It's not healthy for a society. there simply is no argument for it.
If you think your problems haven't caused anybody any problems yet, well, congratulations. I cannot say the same. But if you want it to stay that way, well, you're gonna have to surrender your licence on your own accord and never drive again. Because, sooner or later, you will hurt someone that way. Personally, I don't care. I was just fine with never driving again. but I knew I couldn't drive again. so, do what you will. I understand well the concept of dying this way, and, again, i was just fine with it. but for the sake of all that's good and pure, don' take nobody with you now. They ain't ask for it, you did.
And as far as the rest of this thread and where it's went, pick your program if you will. You can argue anything into the ground--He-, come by me, I'll play the game (I'm real good at arguin'
with you. Tell me where & when, I can meet you anywhere in north South Central Los Angeles. Each program has a reason for being, and it's helped somebody. Pointless to explain how every one of them has a fault. If you don't wanna get sober, say so and be done with it. I'm fine with that, and I'm sure many others here would be too. I just dont' like seeing peoples' programs being disrespected when they're helping others get what they need.
Have a nice day! (I'm trying to be nice here...) Actually I feel pretty good...

thirtybubba was referring to the posts you have made on this thread, making a summary of them...this was addressed to you not liquidfireangel...it took me months to figure out how to use the QUOTE option properly!
For me this is one of the best posts so far as it clearly states that whatever works for a person to achieve sobriety is supported by all here and trying to be a belittle other people's chosen paths to recovery is pretty poor form indeed!
What are you going to do from now on about the drinking, the driving whilst drunk and to ensure a happy and peaceful life for yourself?

If my opinion makes you feel that it takes everything away that you have worked for then maybe, very respectfully, a thicker skin is in order.
Notofeudalism, you're not making anybody think, you've just posted a series of contradictory, self-indulgent, passive aggressive, smug, and at times condescending crap. You don't make logical arguments. In fact, what you say and believe seems to shift on a constant basis, e.g. on one hand you criticise the 'recovery industry', and on the other you complain about the criminalisation of addiction, which according to you, is a medical issue.
A lot of people have clearly indicated that they use alternative methods of recovery, yet you don't acknowledge this. I think the very fact that they are working on recovery is what you have a problem with. Most people here have been far more accommodating than I personally have the patience for, and many have bent over backwards to offer support to you. I find your posts manipulative, and I think your behavior here sucks.
Let me know when you get over your terminal uniqueness, until then I'll be over here, getting sober with the borg.
