I could flat out argue your third scenario to no end. I already saw my life going towards that at one point, and I made a CHOICE to not continue down that road. So I go back to the other statement that that person was a weak minded whatever. I saw that I was hurting the people around me that I cared about and I didnt want to be some low life POS. I told myself not to become that person and not to drink like that anymore, it was hard and I have broken that promise to myself a few times.
I am pre-disposed to anger in much the same situation. I have done some things that I really regret to this day and it was out of rage from things done to me in my past. I know where a lot of these things everyone is saying come from, first hand. Dont tell me there is no choice, I know it can be a very slow gradual downward slope and I made the choice not to go down that road.
