I have friends at work that go to AA, I pray for them often.

 Really many alcholics really do want to stop drinking.. but they really can't without assistance.  It not quite so simplistic as quite or not!  It is a big struggle and unfortunately not many win the battle.. these people do have make the decision to work at being sober but at the same time others around them should be holding them up in prayer and not judge them.. we all have struggles of one kind or another..

 I still love you Annie!

 One day at a time

 i agree  100%

 Annie I agree that a sober alcoholic is alot better to be around then a practicing one.

 I'M PRETTY judgmental when it comes to stuff like this, being because my family are either drug addicts and/or alcoholics and are horrible people and use these "addictions" as excuses and crutches to say whatever it is and do whatever it is they want to. "oh I'm sorry, oh i was drunk" who gives a crap, that's not my problem, so i say to them go Eff your self ruin your liver and don't talk to me. I don't like dealing with other peoples problems, drug addiction & being alcoholics are not diseases, I'll help u to a point but when i know you are just trying to get sympathy and not try to help yourself  you can kiss my ass, i don't have any for you. I'm not an alcoholic cause i choose not to be. I don't believe you are one cause its runs in your family. that's bullsh*t. I wasn't going to say this but after Johns "like always dumb ass comments to me" i had to. I love when people help themselves, its great, but to those who don't.... i don't have time for you (i.e. my family)

i think AA is a great thing, it has helped a lot of people. But those celebs are ridiculous

 I like this, it's kinda  your response to Annie's, well I don't drink that often, or soemthing to that effect. It's true you don't have to drink often. I've been watching  Celeb, rehab. It's interesting to see these people go through their own struggle. You really do hurt for these people. 

I would imagine you be come in a  sense arroused by the whole  aspect of drinking, From ordering ina  bar, or going to get  it ina liquor store, the whole essence of it. It's very, pardon the pun, intoxicating. Or headdy
