And I sort of agree with Cynical too that just because I am a recovering addict doesn't mean that I should be friends with everybody I meet that has an addiction or is at a meeting. I was choosy before I became an addict and I am still choosy. I don't want to expose my family to just anybody. And you can't tell how people are going to be just by looking at them, some of the sicker people don't look like they are on their last leg.
I am a bit more balanced now about how I view people. Before my addiction I never wanted to be around a drug addict or around people that were having "issues." I now have some compassion for people that I previously never had before so that's a good thing, the snob that I was now has some insight and understanding but still I don't latch onto just anyone either even if they seem to be similar to me.
