Welcome to the short version of Bill W.'s friend's life. When dealing with alcohol, you must heed the warnings of Oklahoma's favorite son and respected movie star, cowboy philosopher, political comedian and Cherokee Indian Will. Rogers declared, "I have Indian blood in me. All I have is white blood to question my integrity!".
He always encounters a white man who is ready to be proud and proud of how his ancestors came to America, saying, "My ancestors did not come to Mayflower, but they met." Still a funny idea for a Tennessee Mountain Man.
What does this have to do with Will Rogers? Well, to a drunkard who has been dead since 1935, he has some wisdom about modern politics as well as the excessive delusion in the fires. Insights such as "Our Constitution Protects Aliens, Drunkards and U.S. Senators" (Oops!) And at least one chapter of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) were praised by the Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers. There is also a Rehabilitation and Rehabilitation Center named after her.
A few days ago, the computer man accidentally encountered Bill W's former colleagues and friends. They once enjoyed an intimate relationship. Immediately, a young man in his company looked at the computer man and asked, "Are you practicing wine?" He asked. To which he replied, "No .. No, I am not" and walked away smiling.
Just before he was out of hearing, the alcohol and drug counselor was heard explaining to the young man that "he is our pastor."
"Really?"
"Yeah, you better ask him if he's drinking."
"Why?"
"They have not had an answer since the funnel was discovered."
"So, he knows better. Does he have any problem?"
"No. Never mind. And, when he discovered the Chevrolet Regal in 1968, he told you he would stop practicing. He found the answer. He's a professional. He no longer has a problem with drinking." - His practice is over. He learned to love. His trouble did not stop until 1990. He was one of the few people who did not become a bartender house brand after a few drinks. He liked what he liked and he knew every time someone tried to change it. It's like you're expecting Dr. Pepper, trying to instill a sprite in you. "
"Okay. So, he's not drinking anymore? Or, is he?"
At this point the conversation is gone, so let's hear it straight from the horse's mouth - uh, pen.
With no legal ******* in the state, the computer man lived next to Bootlegger as a child. Like a drug dealer, the old man used all his profits. Seeing the bootlegger exit, upright, leaning against the floor with a white foam chair behind the ladder, the child said in his mind, "I will never be like that."
Then there was the war in a distant country called Vietnam, and that child - now a young man with his wife and children - found himself among people who could not live in a strange country, with strange religions and customs. And fear. Here he did not learn to say no.
Of course, there are many reasons to count. But Bill's friends know what to do with an excuse. How about reasons to put it all together? Like many soldiers there he found his beloved John letter, his wife was in a relationship with someone else and their children were confiscated by a state that was hard to do in those days. After confirming that the children would return, they were told that they did not have a father - they had been murdered in Vietnam.
At the peak of his addiction, he drank one and a half gallons of Scotch whiskey a day ... every day ... seven days a week until he broke down and was in DT and could no longer tolerate the water of his beloved fire. . Could not. Bouncing the check wherever he could find cash, he drank the cheapest whiskey he could get at an incredible rate of three (3) half-gallons a day.
His liver? Oh my god, it's good. It still works. And, even though he has not drunk anything for years, he now drinks a shot or two of Scotch or **** for many days. And, on other days, he does not drink alcohol. "Look, you have CHF and cancer - if it helps, use it, addiction is now the least of your worries," said his primary care physician.
However, he would not recommend it to anyone. AA is correct in its stand that alcoholism and addiction are diseases of the mind, body and soul. It does not attack any of these areas, but attacks all of them to some extent.
Susan Yarrow called out, "Yahoo! Answers", "Is it possible to drink real alcohol socially or only on weekends?".
She said .. Drunkards and non-drinkers are committing alcoholism.
There is a saying that one drink is too much for alcohol, 100 is not enough.
Most alcoholics who try to drink socially or only on weekends fail miserably. Alcohol with the highest and highest willpower can be drunk in moderation, but this is highly unlikely. ,
