You seem like a nice person so you probably don't know how patronizing this line sounds.
... because someone puts a gun to their head IN THE FIRST PLACE and insists they drink.
That's my point, that's what I mean., They choose to drink and keep drinking in the first place. You don't become an alcoholic in a matter of days.
I have tried to keep my mouth shut on this thread and just couldn't any more.
I'm sick and tired of all the alcoholics I know anyway acting like they have some kind of badge that makes it okay for them to be so ****ing self-involved cause believe me if other people need them for any emOergency, any medical thing, help in the smallest sense of the word or whatever they are too busy reminding the world that THEY HAVE A DISEASE.
Sorry but it is tiresome and after a while I just want to say go drink yourself to death if that's what you want.
Maybe it's just that in my life they have to come first and have for the past decade and the minute anyone else needs a single ounce of decency they are offended because to hell with anyone else... they are the only ones with a problem.

I agree with you that's how active alcoholics are.
'selfishness, self-centerness, that we think is the root of our problem'.
I was all I thought about... Me me me; but I didn't know it & no one could make me see it.
It seems from what you write, its family or friends that are alcoholics, not you.
Perhaps you could choose to stop enabling them or go to Al-anon to see how others deal with selfish drunks.
