One of the worst parts about alcohol dependence is that the drug is so damn accessible. It's not like street drugs where you have to associate with nasty people to procure them. And it's easy to hide the fact that I'm drunk (because I'm an alcoholic) or have been drinking, so on the off chance that I have to be available to people, I can be buzzed to hell and still function. So for an alcoholic, it's extremely easy to keep drinking, or to pick back up after you've gone on a sober spree.

Alcohol isn't debilitating to me until I wake up sick after a binge. While I am drinking, I am extremely alert and I can focus on almost anything. Sadly, such a mental state is extremely addictive, and is probably on of the reasons that I am an alcoholic.

Very true and it works for the beginning of the addiction.

In the end of my career I would have gone trough any means to get my fix.
Availability was no longer a factor.
