   I am a recovering alcoholic that is drunk.  Does that mean I am a recovering soberholic?

   I thought perhaps you were a little drunk...... you are really funny. Maybe you are just having a small set back, are you drinking now

      Yes, but I never thought I was an actual alcoholic.  My ex-wife just told me I was.  That doesn't necessarily make me an alcoholic.

            No.  I have drank a little since I have stopped.  Therefore, if I just drink a little after stopping from a supposed alcoholic state, I am not an alcoholic.  Right now, I have drunk a lot though.

               it's understandable with all that is happening in your life...... are you going to give the drink a rest for a while, have you eaten.....do i sound like your mother

         I think it is an anti-AA meeting.  I hate AA.  It is a way for the religious groups to indoctrinate the weak.

      I'm great.  I've been sober for many years now.  Thanks for asking.  Pretty much a non-issue for me now.  I'm so sorry to hear about your sister, Brenda.  That breaks my heart.  I'll definitely read Maddison's poem.  I cannot imagine how hard that's been for all of you.  It's a nasty, nasty disease.

       Yes, I think it is a nasty drug. Dr. Margolis in his famous drug guide had it right when he described it as a fifth rate depressant. I have always known I was lucky not to be able to handle much of it. Some people are genetically sitting ducks for the disease it can cause.
