Mission146 claims to be a Libertarian or slightly on the Left side of Center but it is clear he is far more on the Left than he knows or believes. He has admitted that he is divorced with two children and that he now has a fiancee and that he would most likely not give up alcohol because he loves it too much... I am paraphrasing this. We know he is a writer. Writers always drink or have problems with alcohol and problems with relationships and have a high chance of suicide. No big deal though... I am in the same or just as bad of a ship that is sinking. We all are but it is more fun to point fingers and blame the other guy for basically the same things we are guilty of ourselves.
Thanks for the concern. I would quit drinking if I had to for health reasons. I actually did end up quitting smoking and I doubt quitting drinking would be as difficult as that was.

I should like to go by way of suicide, doctor-assisted or otherwise, but not until a good many years from now, obviously. I think that is as high on my list as just dying in my sleep on some random night. The suicide thing is actually slightly better, though (even though it would mean getting diagnosed with something incurable, or very difficult to cure) because then you can have all of your affairs nice and neat and say goodbye to everyone.

The worst way to go would be one in which your loved ones have to watch you suffer and wither away over a prolonged period of time. Not to mention being responsible for you from a personal care (read: wiping your ass and dressing you) standpoint, or alternatively, sticking you in a building with a bunch of other people so situated. I'd just as easily choose not to be a burden when the time comes.
