I was at a convention last week and two different people confided in me during cocktail hours that they are off the stuff. It kind of sucked for me because if I drink twice a month it would be a lot and this was my night.

No, its about you. I gave you a mercy post in your self indulgent thread because I care about you.

Mac will respond. I have faith.

Guess what cock-smoker? It’s not about you

Just about everyone has issues with some forms of addiction of one kind or another. Whether it's hoarding, gambling, drinking and drugging, cigarettes, sex addiction, food addiction, television/entertainment junkies, social media addicts, smartphones, video games or codependency, addiction is a common issue in our society. There are people who have serious problems where the addiction is basically going to kill them and those are the people that usually have to get help or die. Addiction is basically what people are usually to fill the hole in the soul in place of God, family, friends and healthy hobbies. There is a lot of self-medicating in our society and I think it's a symptom of a lack of community and friendship that people lack in their lives.

I do commend Mac and others for seeking treatment. It's hard to admit you don't have it all together and that you need a power greater than yourself. It's humbling thing to say you are out of control and need help. But the people who stick with any kind of addiction treatment are better for it.

I remember years back Mac always bragging about his stock market success on a regular basis. Always riding high and gloating when indexes had a good day.
