I just got a message from someone who doesn’t have the “Ask” feature on their Tumblr activated, so I am responding publicly.
“Hey Rob, I hope you can find the time to answer/help me with my question.
I’ve been a heavy drinker now for more than 10 years, and it’s affecting my health and liver. Even when I think about stopping, I get the fear.
I know you have quit drinking and any advice you could give me would be much appreciated.”- My favorite definition of alcoholism is: “Drinking creates problems in your life, yet you continue to drink.” It’s a flexible definition and I think that’s good. Are the “problems” health issues, DUIs, ruined relationships, or lost jobs? Who really cares?
Tumblr 12-stepping! saving lives! this made my night. I hope this guy gets himself to a meeting. and soon.
