desypete, it's been my experience that addicts and alcohol abusers are in no way unique in this regard. It seems to me that most people feel they are correct, and know what's best for them, sober or not. In my experience, it's just human nature, and chemical substance abuse has nothing to do with someone's stubborn beliefs.
