<p>My only friend who recently completed rehab after thirty years of drinking looked a total fright by his mid40s..teeth falling out, skin and bones, obviously drunk in the middle of the day, career at severe risk</p>
<p>how did ya'll know my friend was a writer. Such a cliche but true. Clean and sober for a good while now..
I am sure Suna and Iderochi are correct re AA meetings having members who still have little obvious signs in their appearance.<br>
It is bad when wishful thinking includes..maybe a brain tumor? huh.</p>
