what?

hogwash.
and who cares anyway. as long as AA doesn't have internment camps like the scientologists, I'm not worried and I'll have no whining!

I thought I was an alcoholic for a while

Then I discovered I was just a social binge drinker.

That actually puts me in the same class as those teenage slags you see laying in the gutter on Friday evening because they've had too many Bacardi Breezers.

I still havent decided which I'd actually prefer.

That very much depends...

...on if you actually _like_ bacardi breezers.

ptui, they're 'orrid... where's me pint?

I got worried when one of my friends kept

jokily referring to me as "the alcoholic"... Then I realised she doesn't go out much or remember how to have fun anymore. I feel much better about myself now, and yes, Banana, if you're offering, I will have that pint.

you mean the one you sent me?

I listened to it and liked it, but I haven't been able to get my head around it because I've got to go into the studio this week with kiss kiss bang bang, and the songs not um... quite finished yet!
in fact, I shouldn't even be here spazzin the board!

and spacefish, having a "problem" is relative to what's normal. and since everyone in the UK (at least from the impression I get from you guys) is an alcoholic, it's impossible for any of you to have a "drinking problem". you'd have to call it a "drinking normal" or a "drinking standard" or something.

To be fair

While I certainly drink heavily while I'm in party mode, which is of course the
whole time when I have visitors over for a party, and most weekends, I don't drink
all that much during the week usually.

I've been smoking every day, but I ran out yesterday and won't be getting more for a
few weeks at least. Yipes!

I could probably scrape together one joint

From all the nearly empty baggies and various leaf debris lying around. Truth be known I
could probably do with a break, I have work to do and I've been getting very lazy lately.

Oh but they do

The courts in the US force people onto AA programs. They are forcing
people to take religious instruction. I wouldn't mind so much but it can only work
if it's voluntry. The courts are turning Narcotics Anonymous into the easyiest place to score!

I've been doing it wrong

"The courts are turning Narcotics Anonymous into the easyiest place to score"

I thought that was the sex addict 12-steppers

Decisions, decisions

I would rather be a friend of "Bob" than a friend of Bill W.

Aren't they cute?

Nor does AA have cool nautical uniforms like Scientology:
