Me too. Until I really took a look around, really gave it some thought. And kept waking up hungover every morning, unable to concentrate, feeling ill.
I lost a colleague last year to suicide, and that made me think about my alcoholism a lot harder. Then I found out that he frequented the very rooms I'm frequenting, and that's really hit home with me. His death affected so many people, myself included.
And now I don't have such a hard time relating to others in my mtg.
