Hey Gillian, I really appreciate your work. I’m curious how you feel about the term alcoholic. As someone also from a family deep in addiction to alcohol, and in recovery myself, I find I really hate this word because of how it blames the person (alcoholic=something wrong with you) — rather than the substance (someone addicted to the harmful substance of alcohol). What are your thoughts on this?
Thanks again for your work.
