SO funny. I ended up renting an apartment in Toronto a few years back and lived beside a father and son who both had substance abuse issues. It's funny how those things get put in your path. Constant reminders for me of where I don't want to be in my life.
They asked me over for a drink one time after I gave them a piece of furnature that I no longer had use for and I told them that I was in program. From then on they hid their alcohol from me when I walked past them in the back alley and seemed to gain a whole new respect for me.
It's great that you can lead by example without even doing anything other than stay clean and sober :)
I hear you with this post for sure :)
