Hey hollywood; I'm the "new girl" as you so eloquently phrased it, and I'm not the one with the problem. My little brother is, and Brad is lovely enough to share this ugly burden. Love your attitude by the way. Very classy, (she said with a yawn.)

What is with hollywood? I don't get that much. I prefer to be called smokestack

lol

Let me clarify...lol my parents were but have been sober for 25 yrs and I married one...go figure

alcoholics are some of the most industrious,intelligent and enterprising individuals
my opinion is alcoholism is largely a manisfestation of depression

Heroic to help one out. The odds may be tough.

I'll agree with 4ever, the alcoholics I have known have been very talented people. Damn shame really.

I would seriously advise against marrying one...the odds are long. If you can help one, God bless you.

for alcoholics
if "it" isn't right they'll drink
recovering alcoholics eat instead
bunch of fat peeps in AA meeting
must be a substitution syndrome

Ok Hollywood, why don't you register and get your own screen name for one... not trying to hound you as B knows I am a very nice person, but you come here spewing away upon people that have been here for years and of course they dont know a damn thing about you at all. SO tell us something about you!

Attitude is all subjective to the person posting the org post, and how its projected from there (does that make sense ? ) I am sorry your brother is going thru so much and honestly I can help both of you because i've been subjected to this a few of my family members... but don't come here with a knife ready for a gun fight because that just won't work. You are making enemeys more than you are making friends right now and I hate to see that because B cares for you. Settle the hell down!

Now If you want to throw spears, I can throw spears... though thats not what I would like to do.. I would prefer helping. I went thru the same as you, allow this to fade and then come in as what you percieve as the bad ass person you are other wise, granted you will be over and over bombed or degraded. Take things slow... both for relationships and this shit. Get to know people before you decide to lash out.

Man this shit isnt funny. I've never known anything about alcholism until now. Someone I care about has a serious problem and I've been reading up on alcholism and how to defeat it.

the first step is fore them to come to the conclotoin they are a alcholic on there own.beyond that you can do nothing.if they will not admit this then there is nothing you can do.
