I see good people everyday like this...

I see people everyday that when not drinking or drugging are good people. But some people no matter how much help offered or how supportive their friends and family are will never change. Some people are set on a course of self destruction and will never change. Best thing is to stay out of their path. There was nothing you could have done to change him I'm sure. I know of one individual that's is the nicest guy but when he gets drinking it goes on for weeks and he usually ends up in jail for petty larceny for stealing beer. He is starting to show signs of wet brain. Sad since he is only about 35. He's a nice funny drunk just doesn't stop drinking like normal people do. On a side note if you have ever never seen anyone go through DT's that is an expirience!!

Most people will totally disagree with me on this but I do not consider alcoholism a disease. To drink excessively is a lifestyle choice or most a way of covering underlying problems. Self treating mental health problems,covering pain for things in their life, childhood, bad marriage etc. Just my opinion so everyone doesn't need to correct me on this.
