Yup, I think those two meetings might be a tipoff. Having said this, I view it this way. Anyone who would judge me for drinking again I don't want to know - don't want those kind of people in my life. The people who won't judge you and are supportive are the people you might want to know.
I also think when people are authentic, they draw to themselves the best people for them. The others well, best to leave them behind.
