But if you get over that hump of addiction then aren't you going to need to keep that social network to maintain your sobriety? I don't see JWB as being particularly able to build a new, "secular" social network of actual friends and whatnot so won't he be stuck? I imagine the comedown from realizing your new god boy friends are goofballs and then having nobody to cling to to keep you away from becoming a hole-in-the-ground-you-pour-booze-into will just make you hit the sauce harder.
