This is an EXCELLENT post!! I can relate to EVERY point!! I was so far ABOVE everyone else, every other addict. It wasn’t until I checked myself that I realized that I wasn’t. I still have that “holier than thou” attitude, but my addiction is JUST like theirs. I don’t care if it’s top shelf vodka or cheap gas station vodka. It all does the same thing. May just take a few move drinks and a little longer to kick in. I fought the “addict or alcoholic” title for a LONG time. Years that kept me in my addiction. Because I “WAS NOT” like “them”. But I am.
