And I'm an alcoholic.. people have always told me I should kick my drinking habits.. after a while I convinced myself I could but I was only kidding myself... I'll never listen to them again.. and what it all comes down to is.. is that rehab, well, it's for quitters.
Alcoholics go to meetings, you don't have to worry, you're just a drunk!
No Skol beer for you! :lol: PPD cannot be responsible for people who commit lewd or criminal acts while under the influence of our flagship brew!
I'll drink this one for ya!

Seriously, a drinking problem is NOT funny. I have a problem that I go to meetings for EVERY WEEK: gambling. Having an addiction is nothing to laugh about.
Just my two cents worth.

I don't think a lot of people realize how common an addiction to gambling is. I see a lot of it at work. My former boss/best friend almost lost his whole family because of it. Sad.

When it starts affecting your marriage/family, that's the time to get things under control. I was lucky, I just lost money. I didn't lose my marriage, or house, or car, or go to jail or do anything illegal. Some people aren't so lucky; gambling can destroy your whole life. I've met some people that could tell you some AMAZING stories, and they just kept on going, knowing the whole time they were ruining their own and their families lives. Some STILL gamble, and keep coming to meetings anyway.
It was a touch of satire. Truthfully, I don't drink heavily, only when I'm in the mood for an occasional buzz.
I understand - I just don't think it's something to make light of, that's all...
Not to worry!
I thought it was a great intro. Satire understood! I was actually trying to determine if it was a movie line or not!
