Absolutely. It takes one to know one! I used to be able to weed out the serious wreckheads pretty quickly at a gathering. I always warmed to the f*ckheads, that's what's strange about being in recovery as the straight-people I never used to warm towards. Oh well, never mind.
I guess I used to try to hang with the potential alkies! lol. I bet most of them are all tucked up in bed with wifey now and sipping a glass of Chardonnay on their patio with kid on the way, all happy and smiley and moderate.
I only met one person who truly drank/drug like me. I was with him on my last binge when I got sober. Diffcult to quite ever capture those times but they are gone. Shame there ain't more young alkies around willing to give it up yet! Too busy enjoying themselves
