    Fuck keeping him in my prayers

    there are people out there with cancer... they are ill. Alcoholism is all about will power its non-treatable because it isnt a disease or illness.

    Just cut down your drinking for fucks sake....and thats coming from probably the biggest pisshead that posts on here!!

    Actually it isn't that easy i had a family member that was a serve drunk, it went on for atleast a year. Thats why i don't drink because i've lived it.

    People will comeback and say well you can just have a pint or two, but it doesn't end up like that does it ? with mates there egging you on.

    Theres too many drunken teenagers these days anyway, and thats why this country is going down hill.

    But enough with the ranting i wish Kelly Pavlik well.

    I only wish I could drink alcohol; I can't stand the taste yuk!! But I would feel better about my addiction to dollhouses and dressing up in women's clothes if I was drunk enough to not notice.

    You really are a moron. You really should do a little research before you make stupid statements on a subject you obviously know nothing about.


    The Journal of the American Medical Association defines alcoholism as "a primary, chronic disease characterized by impaired control over drinking, preoccupation with the drug alcohol, use of alcohol despite adverse consequences, and distortions in thinking." The DSM-IV (the standard for diagnosis in psychiatry and psychology) defines alcohol abuse as repeated use despite recurrent adverse consequences. It further defines alcohol dependence as alcohol abuse combined with tolerance, withdrawal, and an uncontrollable drive to drink.


    Take it from someone who's father was a raging alcoholic. The disease had taken control of his life, and as young girl I begged him for years to get help. His help, came in the form of using his service revolver to blow his heart out when I was 15.

    It's not an easy thing to kick, it's a battle that you have to face everyday, and I thank God that if Kelly does have a problem, that he is getting help, because I would hate for his 2 kids, to have to go through what I went through.

    Hope he gets a handle on the demons.Looks to be one of the 'functional' drinkers if all of this is accurate.But it only takes a short amount of time to convince yourself of your own propaganda if it has its claws in you firm.Kellys a good guy.He sees it as problematic and is looking for help.Good on him.

    I was also going to say this.

    It's not as simple as will power, addiction is a complex physical, psychological, and possibly biological issue. Saying it's as simple as "cutting down" and "willpower" demonstrates a clear lack of knowledge regarding these kind of issues.
