re: Alcoholism: Why it sucks.

One factor working against you is how cool the media and everyone else portrays drinking alcohol - and alcoholism, for that matter - to be. It's not that cool. Especially when you're at the point of addiction. It's not cool at all. It's misery. But the media never - or, at least, very rarely - portrays it that way. . . And by media, I mean TV, movies, commercials, etc.

I can somewhat appreciate your struggle. I have a friend and a family member with alcoholism.
