Hi John - I cant believe someone would come to your blog to insult you. I cant seem to get to the old posts but what I did read is really moving for me. My Dad eventually drank himself to death and I grew up exposed to it my whole life as if it was something normal for a policeman to be having 2 x before work and a bottle in the draw at the office.I admire you for expressing your feelings but more so, thank you for it. I need this understanding from an "insider" so to speak. I never took to the bottle, and still think most alcohol is gross, got "other" issues. Just wanted to thank u.
Blessings
