From "Because I'm an Alcoholic:"

"That sense of being different, which had long
plagued me, disappeared when I saw the threads
that run through all of us. Sharing our stories,
our feelings, it is the areas where we are the
same that impress me. The differences are but
delightful flourishes on the surface, like
different-colored costumes, and I enjoy them.
But the basic ways we are human, the basic
ways we simply are, stand out to me now.
I came to see that we all are really one, and I
no longer feel alone."

c. 2001, Alcoholics Anonymous, page 347

You're are an alcoholic because you aspired
to be an alcoholic. Now you are addicted
to ideologies and support groups. Either way,
you're still an addict. Actually, I'd rather
see you get drunk and post delirious bullshit
than read your Big Book quotes -- it'd be a
lot more entertaining and this broadband/cable
tv package ain't cheap either!

What a shame that you speak out of ignorance.
