Breaking the Myths of Alcoholism 
People are often not as sympathetic towards people who struggle with Alcoholism in comparison to people with other psychological disorders. A common misconception about Alcoholism is that the suffers of it are to blame for letting their own problem with alcohol become that problematic. However, we would never blame a fat person for deliberately putting themselves at risk of a heart attack. So how is it fair to say that someone who has a psychological disorder that makes them dependent on alcohol is to blame for the harm they are doing to their health and social life. ]]> 2018-06-04 12:08:47 UTC https://padlet.com/jordan_smith9/9gvp8h5zar6h/wish/265364447 jordan_smith9 https://padlet.com/jordan_smith9/9gvp8h5zar6h/wish/265364528 Summary of Character
