Denial is a sonofabitch) to make me look at my drinking objectively. I'll always be grateful for her loving persistence even as my drinking destroyed our relationship ... and here we get to the crux of the matter: abusing any drug brings with it heightened risk of bad effects, and pointing that out is not the same as telling someone how they should enjoy themselves. It's simply pointing out a fact.
We are all here to be objetive yet at the same time it takes someone to be objective to see what we are doing with our lives. Incredible story Thump and hope all goes well. I have never been one for alcohol or drugs (the ultimate square) because I don't want to be like what my dad was, so, I want to make a long lasting impression on my children, who also state that I will die in 10 years time if I don't stop smoking.....how is that for being objective?
