Years ago I watched a documentary about alcoholism and how this man got to the point where he had to drink every day or he would get very sick. And how he tried to stop and almost died the withdrawl was so bad. One would think that would be enough to keep him from drinking again and when you get to a certain level, that's exactly where you go when you drink again. People think "I will be able to drink very little since I have been off a while", that is simply not what happens, instead the person experiences the stage they were in and the nightmare starts all over again. It showed how this man HAD to drink just to stop the shakes of withdrawl.

It was hard to watch how bad this disease can get.
