today it was reported that Joan Kennedy, former wife of senator ted ("a blonde in every pond") kennedy, was found laying unconcious in a Boston street, with a concussion and broken collarbone. she is hospitalized, and one of her sons has assumed her guardianship. this lady is ony 58 years old, and has a history of alcoholism. i felt sad for this lovely woman, and thought a discussion of the ravages of alcoholism might be in order, since it seems to affect so many lives. do you know an alcoholic? do you believe in 12-step programs? (AA) does it affect your life in some way? is it really a disease, or an excuse? it seems to be an affliction that touches the lives of many . what criteria defines "alcoholic" to you?
