Very true...dont do any lines either near our boy emperor.

It is..except for those looking for a loophole, you know, "denial" isn't a river in Egypt & all that.
I have known quite a few alcoholics in my life and have never seen one return to "normal" drinking once a lines was crossed. Now there is a distinction between alocoholism and abusive or hard drinking. Not all abusive drinkers are alcoholic and only the individual can no for certain if his or her drinking is a problem or just a phase.
How bad does your life suck because of the consequences related to your drinking? is usually a pretty good barometer.

[quoteThere is a dispute in the treatment field. Al Anon is a big proponent of the lifetime addiction theory, and any treatment program that encourages attendance of AA meetings will agree. Treatment programs independent of AA often treat alcoholism as a curable disease, on the other hand.
