I Absofuckinglutely agree... I also think it’s important to question the terms we use, like alcoholic in particular. My personal belief is that this term blames the person instead of the substance, which adds unnecessary and unfair shame and guilt to those of us struggling with something that’s already really really hard.

The reality is that alcohol is bad for us. All of us. Red wine isn’t good for your heart. I wish we all blamed alcohol more.

Thanks for your writing. Well done. Keep going please.
