What Is So Wrong With Being an Alcoholic?
Question by Dick Richards: What is so wrong with being an alcoholic?
I am never late for work. I don’t drink on the job. I have worked from ground up with this same company for 20 plus years and now am in upper management. Yes, I drink to relax and have fun and do drink everyday to some extent. I know when to quit. But, some still would call me an alcoholic. As long as I can function (WHICH I HAVE FOR 25 YEARS OF DRINKING) then I dont see a big deal about it. Would you consider me an alcoholic?
No, I am not trying to rationalize. I don’t want to stop and am telling you I FUNCTION perfect. Why should I stop because of society thinking I am a drunk. I am perfectly fine with it.
