I got a new one last night when the "R"AH was updating me on his job search.

(Background, he was a chef by trade and is struggling to find work that won't put him around booze.)

He told me he applied for a job at a local steakhouse/bar that was looking for a chef and kitchen manager, and that his addiction counselor asked him what the difference was between that place and the old place. He said, "Well, I'm in recovery now [note: he relapsed less than three weeks ago and doesn't have a sponsor], I won't be into the old clique, and I won't be tempted to go bar hopping after work." Quack, quack, quack.

Which sounds really nice to a total newbie, but pal, YOUR PROBLEM WAS NOT SOCIAL DRINKING.
