I don't like that analogy because it makes it sound like a natural thing while really drinking only has that "gravity" through many of our societal choices we could absolutely change (as a society I mean, not as individuals necessarily).

I don't think society has much to do with it.

There are depictions of alcoholism in the Bible, and there are people in AA from all classes and backgrounds, from all over the world.

It looks as if a lot of people are born with a high potential to become addicted.

This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

Anon is often crazy.
Anon is often depressed.
Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.
