I owe you an apoligy Bud. I had no right to criticize you, or judge you in any way-so I apoligize for my part.

The rest of it?

Im addicted to alcohol. As an alcoholic--thats what I do. I drink. I cant control it--and I cant predict what Ile do if I pick up a drink.

To arrest the addiction, I hafta go to meetings, and not pick up a drink today. Guess its that simple.,

The rest of it--is all about learning how to live without it one day at a time. You have a good day.  Phil
