No I never ran a half-marathon - only full marathons!
This is true of a lot of things. I read an article one time about Stevie Ray Vaughn it quoted people as saying once he picked up a guitar it never left his hands. He practiced daily for hours and hours and in the end and in my opinion he became the greatest guitarist of all time.
I must be sensitive? That's what you get out of that?
No I did not aim it at anyone. The context of the conversation was about alcoholism in general not about one person, hence the word People and not Person. It was a general conversation about a situation the effects a lot of people. The comment itself " I think that is a rash of shit " is obviously me expressing my opinion it did not then and does not now address any specific person.
All good!
My main point in all this was people are addicted nor does it become a disease at first try. That's the choice you make that puts you at the next level. Personal example Jameson has a new blend at least new to my area Jameson Black Barrel it's really good. I told the wife I like that way to much to keep in the house. B-day, and Fathers Day only.
I'm buying that chick a drink right now.

). "Excessive drinking can cause physical disease and involve physical dependence without therefore being a disease itself." I agree with your take throughout this thread. It's an addiction and often those with it aren't willing to do what it takes (or anything at all) to combat it.
I have doctor diagnosed candidiasis. Not only do I "need" the yeast, I am "addicted" to beans and other carbs.Let me help (probably not
I've shared this before. About seven years ago I woke up one morning and decided to make changes. I gave up anything wheat related, not because of gluten, but because of the simple starches. I'm not sure how long that lasted but I immediately (like in a week) lost 10 pounds I wasn't trying to lose and had the surprising side affect of losing my desire for alcohol. That doesn't mean I don't like it at all, just that it never calls me (like on that Friday night after a long week, or the high from having that Jameson Black barrel on a day it's well earned).
I believe there's a physical connection between hunger sensors and happy sensors (dopamine maybe?) that triggers some to want the caloric properties of alcohol to stimulate the happy high. I've read a yeast monster call candida can live in your system and control the appetite and steer it towards yeast related items like alcohol and highly bread related junk food.
Bottom line, we as people are smart and able to recognize our problems and seek assistance. Not everyone is strong enough to do so.
I guess I read you wrong, I thought you were disputing the addiction.
At this point if we get a 7th I would be happy.
I hear you, but if someone would just take him at this point I'd be ok. Still kills me we could've had Debo, AJ Brown, Mecole Hardman, DK Metcalf, Dioante Johnson or Terry McLaurin. Hell even the 5th rounders like Renfrow or Darius Slayton. We wasted a 1st on this underachieving POS.
At this point a bag of balls that need minor patches would be a win.
The draft is a crap shoot. Remember, 31 teams passed on Metcalf because they thought that he was "overbuilt" to play WR in the NFL. 31 teams passed on 198 opportunities to take Tom Brady.
Big guy and a real bruiser with a real contested catch resume and decent YAC stats.
Agree with everything. Lots and lots of busts over the years for many teams.
