[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s so sad how strongly you will all defend alcohol to your deaths, just to justify your own use. You don’t think smoking was also once such a thing? [/quote]

Well alcohol has been around for much of human history, while chemical filled cigarettes were mostly an invention of the 20th century. But keep plugging away at those false equivalencies. [/quote]

Actually, like alcohol use, smoking tobacco goes back 5000 years and is culturally significant in many cultures, but usually on ceremony, not as a frequent habit. But hey,myou keep defending your daily poison, your way.

I’m guessing you don’t want to know that drinking a bottle of wine is the same as smoking 5-10 cigarettes, right? Because you enjoy it. [/quote]

Yeah, those ancient Marlboro Reds. And I have never in my life had more than two glasses of wine in one sitting, much less a bottle.

I find this black and white thinking very common amongst former alcoholics. The same defect in your brain that lends itself to an addictive personality makes it impossible for you to understand that for most people one glass of wine will not lead to moral turpitude and personal ruin. I know this is difficult for you to grasp- but many people can have one glass of wine and not want any more. [/quote]

Yep, turn it on me. This is exactly why most people who have alcohol dependency issues DONT reach out for help. They are made to feel that the problem is them, not the fact that alcohol is toxic and addictive.

I’m actually not defective. I *choose* to not harm myself anymore.

I can see that your own thinking is very black and white, so while you’re calling the kettle... well, hello, pot. It’s too bad that you also can’t see that there is another side to your precious Chardonnay. And yes, I know it’s delicious and looks great in your crystal glasses. It’s also causing you an increased risk of cancer, and ages you, and harms your liver. Even one glass. I’m not the temperance movement, and I’ll even pour you a glass if you’re at my house because I actually don’t care about your physical or social ruin. But when someone asks about if they’re drinking too much, I’m going to call it like I see it and tell them the truth, which is that an alcohol free life is healthier and better, and that they’ve been lied to all this time. And no, that’s not a defect. Defending the use of alcohol when someone is finding it problematic (usually as a mechanism to defend your own use) is. [/quote]
