Toxic-brain-damage is what's coming out their mouths

Al-Anon says, "it's the disease talking".

What, specifically, does that mean?

Brain damage in the alcoholic is not only "falling down drunk" or liver disease.

Their brains are toxic.

The left frontal lobe of the brain is euphemistically called "the Executive Decision Maker".

That means that it decides what we will do, what we will say, how we will perceive things in life that happen, how we will judge what is appropriate and what is not appropriate.

That of course does not totally take away the sting when the junk comes out their mouths.

But trying to internalize the facts about alcoholism------that it REALLY is a toxic-brain problem ------- for THAT is what determines their behaviors ----- WILL help to not devastate us near as much as they would like it to........ much love to all, Toby
