        Alcoholics in denial say that all the time. They can also spiral from rage to self-pity and tears with astonishing speed and a total lack of self-awareness.

        Phil, test your patience w MORE words. Want to add, Jimmy NEVER drank night before or day he worked. His commitment to keeping his patients alive and healthy thru complex surgeries (sometimes 10-12 hrs) was huge. We just wish he had cared so about himself☹️

        Sorry, his shiny pink face looks remarkably like a man who drank his breakfast from a bottle. I have many alcoholics & casual drinkers in my family. This is what that looks like.

        Yeah yeah. We’ve all been there mate. There’s no need to lie about it. But maybe lying just comes easy to you?? 🇦🇺🇦🇺 Sounds familiar
