Rage, rage against the dying ... something something

Whenever someone has any kind of an affliction, it's always a "battle", isn't it? "He's battling his alcoholism". "She really battled with that depression of hers." I want to see what happens when someone doesn't battle. I want to see someone say "Fuck you, depression, I'm going out for steaks"; "screw it Alcoholism, I can't deal with your drama. I'm off to bed."

But really you just lie down and disappear into a black hole. And still people say to one another, "Poor Jim-Bob, he's really battling with his alcoholism."
