get help, then they may resort to more
severe measures to get our attention.

Drugs are hopeless. Not a solution. They
only complicate matters. Sometimes, we
never understand what someone may be
trudging through in their lives.

Seldom, are we alert enough to realize that
even the most fortunate individuals are trying to
empower themselves by using drugs.

I certainly hope you realize that, even
though your drugs were legal, it was still abuse.
! Take care, my man!

At one time I thought it was bullsh$t, but I started going to meetings with an open mind. I've been sober for a while now and am getting my masters in drug/alcohol counseling. (patting myself on the back).

...and congrats to RichC!

And yes I've read the orange papers. And I do have an open mind, really open. Open enough to allow myself to goto a meeting and enjoy fellowship with other alcoholics.
