And yeah, sometimes it's easy to be "fooled" as like some others here, I've known many people who were functioning addicts/alcoholics that kept up appearences for years, decades even. If they don't get help though, it usually surfaces pretty hard.

The desert is a true treasure for him who seeks refuge from men and the evil of men.
In it is contentment
In it is death and all you seek
