Just a personal note before I dash out the door.
Yesterday was the 24th anniversary of my sobriety. No congrats needed...I'd only like to say one thing.
If you are struggling with addiction, than you CAN get HERE from THERE! 
PEACE!

My most beloved uncle modeled this for our whole family. We all know how much pain addiction can bring -- and how it can be overcome.
