What is grief, if not love persevering?

Grief is just love with no place to go.

I don't like coffee either! Hahaha... I'm just a internet cafe or something. But I'm not even cool enough for that!

Alynn, in Japan years ago, I dont know if they still do it, but when the cops picked up someone drunk they would record what he was saying and play it back for him the next morning. I bet a lot of them felt foolish, probably wanted to hide under the carpet. :lol:

That is awesome. I did that to my boyfriend once, but I felt guilty because he started crying while I was recording it, so I never showed it to him. Hahaha. I forgot about that actually, I think I still have it somewhere...

Last and only time was 2 years ago. I got drunk on purpose to understand what was so great about it.
Til this day I still don't get it.

I drank before it. Being tipsy is not the same as being drunk.
Can't find the fun in any of them. Not everyone has fun with it. It's differences between people that make the world a little more bearable.

As someone who had an alcoholic parent, yes, I agree, even though I'm not sure if you were being sarcastic.

Wow! hard to believe how one's statements can be Sooooooooooooooooo MISCONSTRUED on here......NOT sarcastic, DEAD SERIOUS!

So much complaining about Drugs, ALCOHOL breaks up thousands of homes a year, not to mention the many killed by drunken drivers...

Most Alcoholics are in DENIAL, and don't have a clue re their " disease "......
Hard to find a family that one way or another has not been effected in the most negative way by even just one out of control family member w/a drinking problem...

Sorry about your parent, I can only imagine how tough it was back then, and the " residual " effects on your life presently..

Oh, sorry I misinterpreted it then. The "eye roll" mislead me.
Fortunately my dad stopped drinking 11 years ago and he's new the best dad ever and has surely made up for all the years of drinking.
I don'thave any "trauma", I guess I just learned pretty early that alcohol is something I live fine without. I drink something every now and then if I hang with friends but I don't understand the appeal of getting drunk, that's all.

Yes, it's pretty sad how alcohol destroys families. Many people are very gullible and easy to manipulate through it. To me it is as bad as any "heavy drug", the exception is that it's legal.
