You can't blame someone for having a disease.

yeah, I'm sure you always make the best choices (#14)

After all he is that ginger

What the **** is wrong with you?

Alcoholism isn't a disease, but an addiction.

Lol someone with no idea what alcoholism is talking shit to an alcoholic. Ya know for an alcy to go sober takes more personal effort than you have probably given to anything in your ******* life. Relapse happens so get off your high horse twatwaffle.

Oh, sweetheart... If you think becoming a vet will save you from the "BS of why they're in certain situations," then you have no idea what's coming to you. Just wait until you get your first euthanization, not because the pet is sick or injured beyond help, but simply because the owners decided they didn't want it anymore and refuse to surrender it to a shelter instead. Wait until you get a pet who is so sick or injured that you can't help them, all because the owner was too lazy or couldn't be bothered to bring them in before it was too late. Or, and this is possibly one of the worst ones, you get a pet who you CAN help, but the owners can't afford the treatment, so you are then forced to watch them walk away with a pet who is now very likely going to die because it couldn't get the care it needed. Unless you are the most heartless bastard on Earth, and I doubt you are since you clearly care about animals enough to devote yourself to their care, each and every one of those situations will stab at your heart deeply. Day in and day out, those of us who devote our lives to the care and aid of our animal friends face just as many "BS situations" as those who care for their fellow humans. Sometimes, we even face more. Think twice before you judge.

Alcoholism is an addiction and addiction is a disease. The dependance of a mind-altering substance is a mental health issue.

OP at the end of the day, yes, you did relapse, but things will get better. Make a call to your sponsor or a sober friend and ask for a bit of help. Baby steps OP. Stay strong

Let me guess. You tell depressed people they just need to cheer up, don't you?

#84 ^^^ this.

Translation: "I have no basic understanding of how addiction works"

im studying to be a vet too, and I'd like to point out that animals can be alcoholics.

#16, and after awhile, they'll sometimes break up in the hope that the abuser carries out that threat!!!! A vain hope, but still.

Hot beer is the worst! D:

It's just if he chilled them first then drinking them was planned and he had time to call his AA sponsor for support. If he drank them hot right away then his drinking problem is worst than he might have thought.

You're forgetting it's November, I don't know where OP lives, but where I live it could sit out all day and still be cold.

*clicks on profile* damn.. it's cold on earth all over? don't feel it

#30 You're right. That didn't occur to me. I'm in Miami and it's 82 degrees here.

It's like cigarettes, you've got to walk away forever. There is no "just an occasional puff" ever again. And when relapses happen, you have to be tough enough to go through quitting all over again. Just remember that you did it once, you can do it again!!!! And keep doing it, one day at a time :)

I think he meant over the break-up , not alcohol.
