What do you like about this subject?  A life lived in recovery is the way life was meant to be lived. If you think you are an alcoholic, give Alcoholics Anonymous a try!
What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field?  I hope, by living my life one day at a time, to achieve a life well-lived in sobriety. I hope to die sober!
Something interesting about this subject that others may not know:  Alcohol [addiction] is "cunning, baffling, powerful!" [From the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, page 58-59]
Something controversial or provocative about this subject  Many people simply cannot get a grasp on the fact that addiction comes in many forms and thus live in denial their entire lives never knowing they have lived an addictive life style.
