I highly doubt either of you has actually done that.
nope. alcoholism develops based on brain chemestry and the users will power. you can become addicted chemically to cigarettes after smoking only 3 from a pack. this isn't to say you're going to start sucking dick for cigs after only smoking 3, rather your body will develop cravings for them. cocaine dependancy can develop after just 1 use. same with opiate dependancy on the higher-strengthed ones.Arka wrote:Also, aren't you only twenty or something? This isn't a value judgment - I don't think age affects the wisdom of alcoholism one way or the other - but isn't it rather impractical to become an alcoholic in two years? (Or, if you were getting liquor from others before that, when your liquor supply is uncertain and dependent on others?)
Well actually my sources are from others due to the fact that im only 18 but i have in fact done so. Where i live( near a small redneck town) almost anyone you ask would be willing to purchase the stuff for ya...Arka wrote:Isn't that an oxymoron?Pheadra wrote:Though I am a recovering, practicing, alcoholic.[/color]

Go to any AA meeting and you can either be a practicing or non-practicing alcoholic. So I am recovering, but I also am a practicing alcoholic. Lord knows I havent drank like I used to, so I like to say Im still recovering.Arka wrote:Isn't that an oxymoron?Pheadra wrote:Though I am a recovering, practicing, alcoholic.[/color]

Ahhhh, okay, now I get it. I didn't realize the term had any sort of specialized meaning.Pheadra wrote:Go to any AA meeting and you can either be a practicing or non-practicing alcoholic.

Well, that's always a good thing. Though I feel weird knowing that, and only that, about the fact that you two are dating. I seem to recall a fictional cynic observing that "People love you not for the person you are but for the person they are with you..."Phaedra wrote:Fluffy while you doubt how much I can drink, neh I dont care if you believe me or not.
I unfortunatly drank a whole lot in highschool. Im not too proud of it. But I just remember being sober for MAYBE a total of two days a week. After I started dating Spazz he helped sober me up.
When i was in New Oleans the year before Katrina hit, i was at a museum and they had this picture of some american version of absinthe that was made because of the ban of it when they found the "bad" properties derived from the extracts of wormwort... then i later found the americanized stuff, and like everything else, it sucked.Original Sin wrote:Drink absinthe...you can get drunk and abuse substance all at the same time!![]()
Actually, in all honesty, it tastes horrible. Interesting stuff though.
