I have had pancreatitis since I was a little girl. I dont know too

many 9 year olds that are drunks. However, there are a lot of

alcoholics who dont get pancreatitis. Why some do and some do not

is just not clear. I agree with you they chose to drink in the

beginning. However, addiction is a disease. Irregardless if that

addiction is to alcohol, drugs, gambling, sex, ciggarettes and even

foods for some. NOBODY DESERVES TO HAVE THIS DISEASE! That is the

point.

You are obviously very very angry, have a lot of hostility and lack

compassion. I feel sorry for you for that, not because you now have

pancreatitis. You are lashing out when you should be reaching out

and that is sad.

Dave,

I do not have pancreatitis due to alcoholism mine is ideopathic. But I would

never condemn anyone who had it for any other reason. My father and brother

are alcoholics and they quit. No one deserves to be ridiculed and this group is

for support, not condemnation.
