I've also met some very unstable people who are totally drug free. You can't judge a book by its cover and just becaus someone is sober and nice and succesful doesnt mean they don't have major issuers of their own. I've been just as hurt by these types as by the druggie types.
You are completely right and I could not agree more with what I bolded. This is one thing I've discovered too and the idea is to protect oneself. There are bad people out there who have never had anything to do remotely with drugs or alcohol as well (I am thinking sociopaths). I've been hurt by people who are using and, believe it or not, it's easier for me to get over these things than being hurt by sober people who are supposed to have it more together.
