I just returned from a two-day stay in Vegas and I must say I think it's the last refuge for active alcoholics and especially smokers! I saw myself in half of the people I walked by, beer in one hand, cig in the other, stumbling around in a haze.

Can't say I miss that, but it was good to see what active alcoholism looks like. Don't get me wrong: I saw tons of normal people enjoying themselves with an occasional drink, but I could pick out the former me in many.

I'm sorry I didn't hit a meeting; I'm told there is a vibrant recovery community there, especially near the strip. I was just focusing on making sure my mate visited her friends and got to experience the city. She had half a beer when we went out to dinner with friends (amateur).
