You may really need a counsellor to teach you how to take the cotton
wool out of your ears, stick it in your mouth, and simply listen to
everyday people.

The great majority I've discussed the topic with either
stopped/moderated themselves, or, more usually, have at least one
acquaintance, friend, or relative, who simply stopped drinking and/or
drugging to excess. Can't see people bothering to even try disclosing
that reality to you though, while you're so busy blabbing on about
yourself.

Interesting how you boast of your own recovery, yet want to mimic
others! Perhaps you are one of those people who, be the room smoke
filled, or not, are lost without a podium, and a power greater than
yourselves.
