So what were looking at here is a transformation and a strengething of the core. I need more resources to steady my core in times of stress. Thus hypnotheraoy is a viable resource for people who drink when stressed out.

This guy is so right. I can't stop the IRS from making me live on the street so I drink.How overwhelming is the idea of living on the street?

Dear Stanton, you're absolutely right! If the politicians here in Europe would wake up, we would have had far less organized crime and far less drugrelated deaths due to the fact that most drug addicts die from the chemical substances put into the non legal bad quality drugs.- greetings from Copenhagen.

@zachpsick Well, poor guy has an upload in which he has (this one always just frustrates me to hell) created a plural incorrectly using " 's". Don't know, he's obviously a man of science, but your responses to him are keeping me laughing, so I certainly hope he continues....

@miket1m Wow, you have discovered that not all humans metabolize alcohol the same in the body! One thing to study the chemical processes, another to assume something that obvious proves anything at all. I noticed that dairy makes me sick, yet just stopped eating or drinking any w/o researching the exact breakdown of lactose in the body.

Who is the "we" in your request above, anyways? You are the spokesperson for all drinkers who have decided they have a disease in general, or merely on YT?

what many do not understand about this man is that he did very poorly in his education experience. He had many psychotic like break downs in class. He is a very odd character and is on many medications. Check his pupils in this video and the slow blinking. A very odd character indeed. Has no medical training at all.

@miket1m I agree. Which is why I felt I should call you out. And I have. I have to admit, it doesn't make me feel very good to outwit someone who uses phrases like "ass clown," but whatever.

Mike, you shouldn't be getting so worked up about youtube debates. Keep it simple. Call your sponsor. Hit up a meeting. There is no cure for the disease you have. There is only AA. You have no hope of a normal life. Give up on that idea. Focus on AA and insult anyone who dissents from your little cult.

@zachpsick I don't need to convince you or anyone else of anything. You make a point, you make a statement, you better be able to back it up in black and white. Take a hike idiot.

[miket1m]

@zachpsick Thats Dr.James Milam and my article was about the disease concept and idiots like you who disagree with medical science. 

[zachpsick]

@miket1m Actually, it's an excerpt from a book called "Under the Influence," by James Milam and Katherine Ketcham.

You will need to develop your basic grammar and punctuation if you ever hope to convince anyone that you wrote anything worthwhile.
