An addicted person's mind does strange things even without any bits of information.
My thinking was certainly skewed from addiction, but on some level I knew that. I always knew I had a serious problem with alcohol from a young age. Even when I read things or people told me things that I was able to use an excuse to keep drinking, I knew it was just that. Lies and excuses to keep drinking, maybe a way to buy some time to keep from quitting. I've never been an idiot. I've known the score about myself and drinking from the get go.
