Maggie,
Still Waters spoke about it for me.
I didn't have a clue what life with an alcoholic was.
Snap! He told me he was alcoholic and I thought...well, no problem, I don't really drink often so with me it will be a non-issue.
And, gee, he was upfront...so sure, I think there is honesty and trust.
I had never known an alcoholic before...to the best of my knowledge.
That was 7 years ago or so and I am just now getting comfortable with the knowledge that I have determined my sister is alcoholic.
But, as was said...we sure can sniff em out now!
