He's an alcoholic and drug abuser. It culminated in a boating
accident where he was found partially responsible in another person's
death due to operating a boat while intoxicated. He didn't serve any
jail time but entered rehab. I've seen him off an on since and he
had remained totally sober. Until 3 months ago. After seven years
of not drinking, he was at a party and someone started making Mimosas.
All it took was one and he's back to drinking again. Sad.


And cigarettes are just as bad. Recently I ran into a friend of mine and
he was smoking, he hadn't smoked in at least 10 years. Asked him what
happened, he had a lot of stressful things going on in his life, and
"reached for an old, calming friend".


Nicotine is a common replacement drug. The Friends of Bill W tend to
be heavy smokers. That may be the only place I have ever been overcome
by second hand smoke (escorting my brother in law to a few meetings)


Don't forget caffine.
