Question by Save me: Is it an excuse or what?????
Can alcoholic be the reason to keep on drinking whenever he/she wants to, even his/her family keeps telling them to stop doing so. Is it something these people cannot control going out and getting drunk or they are doing so just because addiction drives them toward the path? (Maybe that is the reason why people call it as addiction)
But does being an alcoholic explain their behavior not listening to anyone and keep on drinking as much as he/she wanna do?
I believe that everyone has got to be responsible for whatever they do, no matter conditions they are in. Othewise people can make excuses because of their addictions even after killing somebody……..please share your opinion with me.
