Thanks VB, they are givers. Rose taught them to remember from whence they came.
Concerning addiction, some family lines and even Races have predispositions toward addiction. The sterotypes do contain a grain of truth. The Irish are portrayed as drunk because of a predisposition in their Country toward achoholism. Not all but enough to be used by racist( if that's the correct term) against them.Some Asians are missing an enzyme that metabolizes alcohol. They get stinko cheapo.
Now on admission of addiction; admission of any imperfection is difficult. Just look at any Flame War in any forum on the 'net and it usually starts with an accusation of imperfection and is replied with a screaming denial. We do that privately to ourselves every day. Something, anything ,that you do that doesn't measure up but is passable is denial. Denial is the hardest thing to see when it's your own. Addiction to anything is a Demon, God bless anyone who sees their Demon and strives to defeat it. Doubly Bless those who look for them inside before anything awful happens. Just my 2 cents
