I disagree that "alcohol is the root cause of most of our problems".  Alcohol is most often the first drug of choice for those seeking to self medicate. However, it is not the reason why people choose to self medicate.  Once someone can stop using alcohol to self medicate, the underlying problems are still there.  In the parlance of addiction recovery; "Sobriety is not recovery".  The one case where alcohol is the primary problem would be someone without a desire to self medicate, but who had a predisposition to alcoholism dependence who became an alcoholic as a result of social drinking.

i agree with much of what you say here-in order for some to truly recover, they must not only quit drinking and in most cases using any artificial stimulant(some exceptions may be Rx's from a treating dr.), but also go through intensive therapy to get to the bottom of one's issues.  sobriety in and of itself is usually referred to as a "dry drunk". 

secondly, one who becomes an alcoholic as a result of "social drinking" still has some underlying issues-otherwise, he/she would stop on his/her own or social drinking would remain just that-social drinking.  when it progresses beyond that, it becomes self medicating.  drinking because ones body needs it to function for some reason or another

true story-a friend of mine just started an intensive out patient treatment program.  she said some dude walked in off the street looking for help.  he was as lucid as, well, looking very normal...he blew a 0.45--no schmit!

Your post is the leader in the clubhouse for the most insensitive post of the year given NN's situation....

Woah.  I thought it was Driving under the influence? Guess not, but this almost sounds worse, IMO.

Nevermind, I see the DUI was in May.  Separate offenses.

Five takes discussing a kid who de-committed from us, has emotional concerns and now decommitted/left from Marquette West?

Good Lord, this has to be the off-season?

Can't we come up with anything better to discuss? Leave the poor kid alone and let him get the help he needs.

Wish him the best. Sounds like lots of therapy will be needed.

The "one that got away" looks like McKay. Gonna tear it up for ISU this season.

Indeed. Except he would have exhausted his eligibility last season had he not transferred.

Except Buzz wanted him to redshirt, so he'd be in the same spot here.

That's not why he transferred.  It was the dumb Oxtule experiment and backing up the post that caused the transfer.

I didn't say that's why he transferred. I said he'd be in the same eligibility scenario here if he had redshirted like Buzz wanted him to.

[JamilJaeJamailJrJuan]

Since when did Buzz want him to redshirt? This is news to me. I know he left over PT concerns and playing the 5, but I don't recall Buzz forcing a redshirt on him.
