Not everybody "looks" like an alcoholic. My cousin was an alcoholic from the time he was 13. When he was 21 he was drinking openly and always went out with his drinking buddies. But to look at him you'd never know he was an alcoholic.
He died one week before his 22nd birthday. Hence why I use the term "was" as opposed to "is." The fact is, there is no such thing as a "former" alcoholic. Once an alcoholic, always an alcoholic. It just depends on whether or not the person chooses to remain sober that day.
EMOTICONS ARE BACK! YAY!
