In the sense that acoholism is fatal, permanent and incurable I would accept it's definition as a "disease".

There is something that makes it impossible for an alcoholic to control alcohol consumption (frequency or amount or both) and no pill can make it different. And it is good for us to think that way because to think that we have changed and can handle it now is the height of egotism. I know that if I allow myself to put this poison in my body again it might end up killing me. I will not take that chance, and all the effort I put into recovery is intended as body-plate armor against a relapse. I think I will succeed, but it helps to continually reinforce the necessity of abstinence.

Good to hear from you.

I have soooo got to get moving. Last year we got a late start off the Cape, and spent two hours in traffic covering five miles.

Logging off for now...
