Is an alcoholic responsible for the result of a terrible accident when driving his car/truck?

I feel for anyone who admits to a disease. I have anxiety at times but no depression that I am aware of. I have learned to cope with elevators, heights, planes and a lack of windows. I just don’t go there anymore. I am a diabetic. I can be moody if the blood sugar is wonky.

But I accept my responsibility in life for my actions and I believe we all must.

In the end, all he could he was save himself and start over.

Another friend works in the gambling industry here in B.C. Thinks the voluntary exclusion program is great….if it were only legal to enforce it.
People put themselves on the program, then walk into the casino and start to play. All the establishment can do is remind them that they are voluntarily excluded.

If they do anything more than that they may be charged with some kind of assault or discrimination. It’s an impossible situation.

Neither Mr. Smythes flippancy nor ‘find who’s really to blame’ mentality will lead to…if not a solution, at least a way to live with the reality.
