Wow.NO NO NO... Stay strong. You don't need alcohol. I used to drink... A lot. Alcoholism runs in my family. I stopped because my husband quit drinking and we said we would do it together. I used to drink to numb my life after I got my diagnosis. I didn't want to remember that my disease ends in death and there's no other alternative.
Thank you for your perspective. Clears the air a bit.
Alcoholism runs in mine also (Irish with American Indian and history). So while we make light of it at times, it is a serious issue. All these items are serious. Applause to all who are battling and winning. Hugs to all that need one. Encouragement to those in need. The fight won't end, but that doesn't mean you should stop fighting.
So with occasional tiffs, but on the whole rollicking, they drew near the Neverland; for after many moons they did reach it, and, what is more, they had been going pretty straight all the time, not perhaps so much owing to the guidance of Peter or Tink as because the land was out looking for them. It is only thus that anyone may sight those magic shores.

And then one for @electrycmonk:
Why does Peter Pan always fly?
Cause he can Neverland.
