I recently told a friend "if you have to ask, you already have the answer".
He's since totally quit and moved everything out of the house. Good for him.

I apologize with my lack of patience on this but it is frustrating to me how people just accept past practice as best without ever questioning. How people accept titles for knowledge or correctness on a subject...

peace brother
I am addressing the issue of a person who wants to stop drinking when they haven't had a drink, but will find it impossible to regulate their drinking if they start. If you aren't talking about people like this, you are not talking about actual alcohol-dependent persons, I wouldn't say.

There are of course individual exceptions to everything, but the gutters are full of exceptional persons.

The fellow in my video is not full of shit because he has a Dr. in front of his name, and he relates real experience.

Peace always.

Except for cases of alcohol poisoning, it's much less of a problem with alcohol than with nartoctics but in neither case is anyone advocating unsupervised "cold turkey". There are hospital protocols for both alcohol detox and narcotic withdrawal. Surprisingly, they work just fine even though they're performed by traditionally trained medical personnel.

Getting back on to the topic of Trump, the battle between Trump and Kelly continues.
Quote:
"Everybody should boycott the @megynkelly show. Never worth watching. Always a hit on Trump! She is sick, & the most overrated person on tv," Trump tweeted on Friday.
Fox response:

Trump's 'obsession' with anchorwoman Kelly is 'deplorable'
Quote:
Fox News responded by saying: "As the mother of three young children, with a successful law career and the second highest rated show in cable news, it’s especially deplorable for (Kelly)to be repeatedly abused just for doing her job.”
Just in time for the next primary and I believe that this is an orchestrated move by Trump for some free air time.

How can anyone admire this petty little buffoon? It's utterly mind-boggling.

Here is the best explanation I have heard.

Trump loves America, Obama hates America, Trump will make America great again. He is a modern day hero to some or maybe a lot.

More on the Breitbart fallout over Trump. Too damn funny.

'Andrew Breitbart warned conservatives about Trump, but he never saw this coming'
http://www.latimes.com/nation/politi...318-story.html

"Back in 2011, the feisty right-wing media personality Andrew Breitbart made a prediction about Donald Trump that turned out to be prophetic.

"Celebrity is everything in this country," Breitbart said in an appearance on Fox News, calling Trump "not a conservative."

Breitbart, who launched an irreverent, anti-establishment conservative news site that shares his name, said then that Trump's media savvy and his plans for a presidential run should be a warning to the Republican establishment. "If these guys don't learn how to play the media ... we're going to probably get a celebrity candidate." LA Times
