On the off-chance someone will know:

I was wondering: someone is a recovering painkiller addict. They've been clean for a while and they go to Narcotics Anonymous meetings. Would they also tend to stay away from other addictive substances, even those that they've never had a problem with? Specifically, would they not have an alcoholic drink in a pub with friends?

HMMM. That's a tricky one. I think I have read/heard somewhere that once you experience one addiction, it can be easier to develop another? BUT I MIGHT BE MAKING THAT UP.

Hmm. That sounds plausible, at least.

OH CRIMINAL MINDS, WHY YOU SO FUCKED UP.
