FAMOUS ALCOHOLICS

THIS LIST IS OF FAMOUS PEOPLE AT DIFFERENT STAGES OF ALCOHOLISM

IT ISN’T UNTIL THE LATER STAGE OF ALCOHOLISM THAT IT BECOMES APPARENT JUST HOW

DESTRUCTIVE ALCOHOLISM IS.

IT IS SOMEWHAT LIKE DIFFERENCE FROM BEING HIV POSITIVE AND HAVING FULL BLOWN AIDS.

OBVIOUSLY THE CLOSER YOU ARE TO THE ALCOHOLIC, THE EARLIER YOU WILL NOTICE THE

PROBLEMS.

SPOUSES ARE VERY MUCH AWARE OF THEIR OTHER HALFS PROBLEMS LONG BEFORE THE

REST OF THE WORLD.

Raging Alcoholic

I AM HOPING TO USE THIS MIXTURE OF PEOPLE TO DEMONSTRATE HOW

SUCCESSFUL A PERSON CAN BE, WHILE THEY ARE FALLING APART.

MOST PEOPLE CAN ONLY DO ONE OR TWO THINGS REALLY WELL, A WORLD LEADER

WHO IS AN ALCOHOLIC IS LIKELY NOT GOOD AT ANYTHING ELSE BUT DRINKING AND

LEADING THE WORLDEXAMPLE:

MANY DOCTORS ARE VERY GOOD IN THEIR SPECIALTY AND AT HOLDING THEIR LIQUOR. THAT

IS ALL, HOWEVER, THEY ARE GOOD AT. THEY ARE NOT GOOD FATHERS OR HUSBANDS OR

EVEN A GOOD FRIENDS. HOW ARE THEY GOING TO BE A GOOD UNCLE OR GRANDPARENT IF

ALL THEY CAN DO IS DRINK AND WORK

I AM MAKING AN EFFORT TO KEEP LIVING (OR AT LEAST STILL WORKING) DRUNKS OUT OF THIS.

I DON’T WANT TO TRADE SOMEONE ELSE’S SUFFERING FOR A QUICK HEADLINE
