I tend to agree with those that commented they believe Daniel was a dry drunk, and not really dealing with the issues of addiction. In one way, I was very offended by him encouraging Mary to send him some inappropriate pictures. On the other hand, as another member of the group pointed out, Mary is not 18, she is 27 years old and part of her getting straight obviously needs to address the side of her that doesn't have sexual boundaries clearly in place. I like Mary and I feel for her, but it's past time for her to learn how to deal with men who will view her solely as a sex object. So in a way, this was a good experience, if she learns something from it and it helps her grow stronger when it next occurs.

Daniel's in denial, and I wish him well. Hopefully he'll get back into treatment and have success in getting straight and staying that way.

I am so rooting for Jeff Conway to make it. I know the chances are slim, but I feel he is really trying. However, he must, no doubt about it kick that pasty-faced, sobriety saboteur skank to the curb! How dare she come for a visit with a spiked drink? Who in the hell does that? At this point, I think she should be banned from visiting. Not only did she put Jeff's sobriety at stake, she put everyone in the rehab group at risk too, simply by having it there.

I couldn't help but smile at the bed snuggling thing that started with Brigette and (I think) China, then added Jeff, then all the others jumping in too.

My last thought -- who is the black girl? And why doesn't she ever talk? I have seen at least four episodes, and she walks around with a blanket as a shawl all the time, but I have no idea what her story is. She seems very sad.
