Quote: Alot of people believe it is that simple. I am of the thought that if you don't really know, then you don't REALLY know. I really don't. I have been around addicts all of my life but have never tried drugs myself. I commend you for kicking the habit because none of the people I...

Quote: I think "Just Say NO" would only apply to kids who have not tried drugs yet. Once that line is crossed it must be a terrible battle to overcome addiction. I would never apply it to someone in recovery. Alot of people believe it is that simple. I am of the thought that if you don't...

By the way, that whole phrase "JUST say no" is pretty offensive. There is no JUST about it. JUST makes it sound easy. SAY NO is better. ALWAYS say NO, to people, to the demons, to the voice in your head. I apologize if I am beating a dead horse. The subject is special to me.

Quote: I am usually kind. FB friends know I have a bit of an attitude...... I am usually fairly nice too. Topics like this can make me look a bit jerkish though. I am kind of big on doing the right thing or dealing with the consequences if you don't. This is just the way I am. Me too! I am...

Quote: Thank you! I can say all this proudly, because I am not dead. I am living, hard though "normal" life may be at times. The good thing is Ken has been there too and it totally ok for one of us to say "Such or such would be really good right now, but tomorrow wouldn't be if we did"...

Quote: I have to tell you that the program I went to was 24 months long of living there. Then another 12 months of living out, having a job and returning to the facility 4 times a week for group. A person just cannot be a drug addict and live that lifestyle and recover in 30 days. There is...
