I hope I don't catch too much Flack for this one but here goes:
So Where did the Alcoholism come from anyway? Well, This Debate can go all the way back to when Man began crushing grapes.
I think it was at that Damn Wedding where Jesus said 'Let them all have more wine than they'll ever be able to drink'. Bingo! Water into Wine. Well, They Drank and They Drank... and They Drank some More, More, More and tThey Liked it... And Then Things got insanely out of control(UnManageability) and the wheels fell off the wagons. Then God The Father created AA to fix the mess Jesus had made. Perhaps Jesus was an Idiot who did a Great Deal of StupidShit and got himself killed. Maybe, Maybe not, I don't know, its just a theory.

It seems more accurate to say that AA "evolved" from other things into what it is today, though, I hope that after the negative influence of the non alcoholic drug addicts on AA, it evolves into something better than it is now, because it isn't the great program it used to be, but Bill W. predicted collapse AA doesn't stick its the singleness of purpose.
Addiction is the buzzword these days and from what I have seen here and @e-aa.org 'AA''s PreAmble does not mean much anymore.
I was permanantly banned from e-aa.org because I would not comply with the RingLeader over there. :)
No big deal since there was no FellowShip there anyway.
Fuck NA... Let it eat shit and die. Sorry about my explitives.
Lately the Extreme Spasticity in my left arm has tasked my patience and I refuse to do mood altering chemicals other than coffee.

That website is quite hostile and the moderators sqeamish.
Is chocolate mood altering and is sugar a mood altering drug? Grey area, but interesting question?

I do not know the answer but here is some of my experience...
When I get out of bed in the morning I feel miserable since my left side still has hemiplegia.
After I've had some coffee and a few smokes I feel better and more enthusiastic about firing up my PC to create some NewStuff for my site.
For the past couple of weeks I've been trying to think of a good way to make the Joe and Charlie Stuff I have fit into my BikiniChick Forums. :)
How do I make Written StepWork Fun even if it isn't. Got any ideas?
Coffee and cigarettes are mood altering, Mornings tell me so. :)
Is that a good answer?
Both caffeine and nicotine are addictive and at least nicotine has a 12 step program. Alcohol starts as sugar and still has a high sugar content when fermented and sugar calms the shakes.

Several of your statements lately, including several in this thread above, including the highlighted ones, are well past the line of acceptability here. The stress of your medical conditions (hemiplegia, spastidicity, etc.) notwithstanding, there is no justification to let it pass.
