Like you're doing the bare minimum to be a functioning member of society. What do you want a fucking medal?! You never celebrate all the people who are able to control their consumption because they are doing what is expected of a normal human being.

This is like the adult version of a participation trophy.

It makes me fucking sick.

Why do people continue to act like everyone gets the same choices and all of them are easy for everyone to make?

Why do people get mad when others praise someone for bettering themselves?

because it lets them feel comfy with their own choices and what they have in life

Alcoholism ruins people's lives, some people ultimately drink themselves to death when they cannot control their addiction or they've been drinking for so many years that it ruins their liver or colon.
Why shouldn't we praise people for beating an addiction that is capable of ruining another persons life so easily?

I drink a lot more than I should and I don't believe I meet the qualification for addiction in spite of my habits and yet still once in a while clowns say clown shit. I've spoken to full on addicts and I've heard stories and I'm all "shit, that sounds harsh"(can't relate). This topic is silliness in inception levels to me lol

To be born good, obviously. Having the willpower to be incorruptible is much harder than having the willpower to solve problems of your own making.

TC is a sad pathetic person. Who has no empathy for other people.
I would praise him (TC) if he could beat that problem.

Probably because its an addiction with a physical dependency that has legitimate physiological withdrawals associated with it. A comp is opiates/heroin. But obviously alcohol is legal and an overall much more common type of addiction to encounter comparatively.

If it's so easy to resist the temptation to start, most addicts would not be in the mess that they're in


you say that like people who have never drank before are picking up a bottle and saying "yeah, I'll become an alcoholic now". It's more like you start drinking socially like pretty much everyone else does, and then it gets worse for whatever reason
