I'm good, but I appreciate you saying that. Not to like be conceited and overvalue myself, but I don't think brainpower has much to do with alcoholism. It's like trying to overwrite how you feel with how you should feel - no amount of rationalisation, facts or logic is going to eliminate that base feeling that something instills in you. People don't drink because they're not smart enough to get out of it, they drink because they're unhappy.

Oh I don't mean to say "you should know better because you're smart", just that it's a waste to... waste your mental faculties on this junk. I know firsthand that knowing things, and knowing how to do things, isn't nearly the same thing as actually getting to doing them. I don't blame you, and I hope you don't blame yourself, just wish you luck in kicking this habit.
