I could never be an alcoholic, alcohol does nothing for me except dulling the senses. But there were kids I knew, from the first drink of their lives, it made them a different, less stressed, happier person. It was like heroin (I imagine, never tried it). Point is, some people genetically have an alcohol problem. And this person is writing about it, exposing themself to potential criticism like this, and taking action about it. Does judging this person make you feel like a better person? Because it&#x27;s not helpful in any way. If you&#x27;ve avoided problems, good for you. If you haven&#x27;t, and you&#x27;ve had struggles, it doesn&#x27;t make you a hero, and it doesn&#x27;t make you a bad person, it makes you a human being.
