  1. I'm not an expert but my sister has been a manager with Alcoholics Anonymous for over twenty years. She, herself is an alcoholic insofar as 'once was, always is', but has been 'dry' for all that time. She tells me that there is a physiological element within certain people that basically ensures addiction. In that respect, I assume that some people fight their 'inner demons' constantly whilst others just lament an otherwise enjoyable social pastime which has produced negative outcomes such as behavioural, financial or health problems. Many years ago, I started jogging, which for me, was hard because my aerobic capacity is not particularly good. As a result, I didn't get too far down the road before I got the overwhelming urge to stop. So, I use to play a little game with myself in separating my mind from my body (sounds stupid) whereby my body starts telling my mind it wants to stop, but my mind is 'in charge' and refuses permission, calls my body a lazy git and forces it to continue. For many years I ran approximately 10 kilometres every day. For me, my God is myself.
