re: Alcoholism: Why it sucks.

my FIL was an alcoholic. Once he took one sip..he was fall down drunk for months..until he completely ran out of money and shite to sell. He wouldn't work, wouldn't attend any family functions... most of the time would not eat, just looked for the next drink.... this would go on until he finally decided to go to rehab... would stay sober for a while...go back to work, function like everyone else then...wham ! back on the bottle..

i never understood it.. not sure i ever learned to completely understand...
