I was really kind of surprised by that also. My layman's impression of 'sociopath' centers around lack of remorse or guilt, which really doesn't fit most alcoholics. We tend to be plagued by that, in general, although few of us can admit it. Scared little people putting on a tough act. But otherwise, I was kind of stunned that so many of my fellow alcoholics don't recognize some of those traits in their own behavior.
Maybe it's only me who was the sociopath. Or maybe I just see things differently today.
