Thoughts And Alcohol

Thoughts on alcoholism

This character almost certainly has a problem with alcohol that won't be solved by dumping a bottle down the drain and promising to stop.
"Dumped the bottle down the drain, and the next day--or a week later--I bought another one." is a story told over and over again by alcoholics in treatment.

Real life loved it

Loved the story which showed how things like alcoholism creeps up on you. You told a story which seened quite big but was actually quite short, a great achievement. I only hope that I can develop such a talent.

You can't trust an addict. Ether alcohol or drugs.

If he drinks again. One drop. She should be outta there. Otherwise, one day, he'll beat her to death.

If he ever, and I mean ever, raises his hand to her, drunk or sober, she should run for her life and call the cops. But if he truly wants help, it's there. AA has saved a lot of lives.

Reappraisal

In light of the comments on this story I've reread it in a new light. I'd never realised that it suggested the guy was an alcoholic! It wasn't supposed too. He was just drunk on that day. The more I look at this the more I see he does have a drink problem. Maybe I should write the story from her POV.

Classic Alcoholic

he shows the classic symptoms of the alcoholic, Pouring the b ottle away is a start, the next thing is getting into AA for help. Kim can only do so much, Good story.
