I had an alcohol problem at one point in my life. Thankfully I got help with it before it made me say "ouch".

I haven't had a problem with alcohol. I enjoy my beer, and I enjoy liquors, but I never let it get to be a problem. I take pride in knowing too that if it did end up becoming a problem, I have friends who would help me through it, or force me to get professional help if necessary...

My friends know just what buttons to push that would get it going, trust me. I've dealt with two losses (family) and one close call (friend) that for me personally, it would be easy. A lot of people don't have that, and for them, I feel bad .

People become homeless due to addictions. For some, losing everything still isn't enough to stop. It really isn't that easy to overcome otherwise everyone would and there wouldn't be any problems... I believe you and what you say, but for those who are addicted it's just not that easy.

I find that wasting money on alchohol interferes with wasting money on excessive bass gear.

True, it's not good, not good posting drunk neither. I was thinking of posting something like that up earlier jus' to say, but I didn't know which way this was headed, I'm glad it didn't turn into the trainwreck I suspected it might have.

Go get some help man, It's too difficult alone, you need some clarity for a bit, a window.
