To Thing et al
There seems to be some inane idea that anyone talking about, or trying to explain, alcoholism is thereby justifying or excusing the behavior that results from it.
That's nonsense and is NOT what understanding alcoholism is about!
Most alcoholics, including myself, understand AND ACCEPT that "When you do what you did - you get what you got!"
Consequences are appropriate...so there's no argument in that regard.
But there IS life after alcoholism...and there IS a road back.
