Discussion: I am a heavy alcoholic beverages drinker, but If I had known that I would have reached a state of liver cirrhosis at 50 - I would have stopped drinking alcoholic beverages a long time ago!

In retrospect, it is easy to say that you would have stopped drinking alcoholic beverages long ago. It is worth emphasizing that addiction is a phenomenon in which the addict most often denies being addicted until the late stages. The addict knows the risks but believes this will not happen to them! Smokers and drinkers are aware of the damage they cause to themselves and their environment but are often unable to stop the addiction. Persuasion in a state of addiction does not work. The subconscious bypasses logic.
