Reply #19: You are an alcoholic whether you are sober or not

[E_Zapata]

and your shear childishness in response to someone calling you on your blame game signifies a bit of the dry drunk syndrome.

I caught it loud and clear in your post: "No one helped me when I needed it. And that pisses me off."

Again, maybe they DID help you? Or maybe they tried, but you were too out of it for it to have registered then or now?

What a friggin martyr. Martyrdom is a sign of dry drunk syndrome. Look at GW -- the personification of dry drunk.

Hit a 12 step meeting. You can't help anyone until you help yourself. How many 'drunks' have you reformed? Do you dissuade them from going to AA, since you managed without it? If that's the case, I wish you would stop your efforts because AA is the single-most best and most effective path for any alcoholic. and you don't have that to give, because you have done what so many other alcholics do everyday: Run their own show.

You really get under my skin. Sorry......

And I have told you A LOT about my story -- just be interfacing with you about yours. I am no martyr and have no need to bear my heart on a message board, but I am sure I could raise a few hairs with my story......but I choose to apply it in real world circumstances, where it counts.
