I want an account of what exactly you did that occupied years of your life helping alcoholics get sober.
I have spent time encouraging people in Alchoholics Anonymous. I have been fairly close friends with alchoholics in homeless shelters and gave them rides, helped them find housing. I have served in drug rehabilitation programs. I lived in a Christian missions house for a year and a half and watched people go in and out with drug problems, as I cried because they wouldn't change their lives around with AK-47's going off in the background as drug dealers shot each other.
This does not substantiate your rather grandiose claim that you "spent years of [your] life helping alcoholics get sober."
And so, that was essentially a lie. A rather self-serving lie, told simply to disarm my suggestion that you were irrationally focusing on one problem to the exclusion of a bigger and more important problem. I would have gladly accepted "I simply haven't addressed it here" or "it hasn't come up," but instead you chose to lie in order to make yourself look good.
And you wonder why I neither trust you nor listen to your arguments?
