    CS seems like a reasonably intelligent human, which only means he knows what he's doing in there, or it is a desperate cry for help, but if those close to him irl can't reach him I don't know how any of us are supposed to. There are folks in there really trying hard and likely struggling and like you said that is the last ass thing they need to see. This site has more lurkers than you think also, he can keep that shit to the random win/fail threads if he wants to brag about his drinking like he just got out of high school.

    A close friend is just recently (weeks) owning up to the fact that she is an alcoholic, like the rest of her family, and is struggling badly with being young and realizing that her entire social structures are built around alcohol. It's been really enlightening to see how all the discussion and references to alcohol that are all over the place can be stressful triggers to someone who is newly trying to quit. I don't think before this that I would've realized how hard it can be for some people to open up a thread that they expect to be safe to see that, but now that I do, man it's not cool to a very high degree.

    Xno: I hope you didn't put yourself on some assignment in a dry country like you were contemplating. I'm sure you can find some help within your area. Going out cold turkey in a stressful environment to come back after doesn't seem like the best idea to me. Not to mention the possible health risks associated with dropping it cold turkey if it's become that bad.

    I don't care why they are in the thread, and you shouldn't concern yourself with why either. They clearly have ample reason to be though, and that is more than enough justification.

    This topic is the definition of "different strokes", and not everyone is going to work the same way. It doesn't mean we need sit in a circle and pat everyone on the back.

    My best friend had to come to grips with his alcoholism after hitting the walker out of an old man's hands in a crosswalk while drunk driving

    He nearly got a serious felony charge and prison time but the old guy wasn't hurt from the fall.

    I visited him in jail (he was there for 3 days before they dismissed the most serious charge) and he said "I know I can't drink anymore but I don't know how"

    Intense AA and court-ordered therapy and he'll be 8 years sober this November, hasn't drank since he was arrested.

    And he was extremely high-functioning even in the depths of his alcoholism - held down a 6-figure video game programming job where he was a top performer, trained for and completed the LA marathon, got laid, etc. Now he's married with a kid and another on the way and founded his own company that has a contract with Sony for a new VR game.

    You wouldn't know that though because you've demonstrably never picked up a book nor educated yourself on the matter. Let me guess, overweight housewife?

    You know, I was waiting for this to come up again for a while. I was calling you Saladin in several posts the last few days and didn't get this retort.

    I let it rest a bit, didnt want to kill it too soon. I also just didnt want to respond much in that thread cause honestly I just dont have the energy to respond to people purposefully being obtuse. Shits exhausting.
