Yeah, I know, OTT. I will say that one of the things I do like about SMART recovery is that they actually take precautions to prevent abuses among and between their members, much like SoberRecovery does with their "Internet Predators" warnings.

Addicted people have a propensity to place undue and unearned trust on others simply on account of the fact that they also got high as a kite. On the one hand, I am inclined to believe that people reap what they sow, but on the other hand, I also know that is their addiction talking, driving them to see other substance abusers as trustworthy, even if they are anything but.

It would probably be good if all recovery groups adopted such precautions.
