Aunty M,

Alcoholism is some thing that unfortunately touches alot of families.

There nothing wrong with being human and falling down, it's what you decide to do after falling that defines character. If you didn't physically hurt somene while falling and just came to the conclusion that something does you more harm than it helps you and you decide to go with out it to better yourself and your personal relationships--that to me is admirable.

You've said that President Bushs' past admitted problem with alcohol was untreated. I think the fact that he has been sober for approx. 14 years suggests that how ever he did it--it was dealt with/treated rather effectively.
