JJ:
Thank you for your message. Quite profound. I can see you've been in this game quite a long time. Because of this, you have a wealth of knowledge about Addiction…..but more importantly, an incredible wealth of experience. I don't know, or have even heard tell of, many (even any) addicts who have survived the experience as long as you. Please, take that statement as it is intended, as an accolade to your obvious and genuine intention to achieve and maintain life-long sobriety. Personally, I cannot claim a similar degree of abstinence…..many of the 12-step devotes would label me as a "Pretender", a complete bullshit artist, because I'm both a "Recovering Addict" and a chronic pain management patient, on Schedule II pain-killers. I'm sure you immediately see the conflict of interests…..some would call any advice given by me fraudulent……and I can live with that….quite easily. I don't mean to drone on so prolifically….it's getting quite deep here, and I'm sure there where you are, so I'll wrap this up.
As I've already mentioned in my prior post, I'm very, very new at this, (bloging and such) so I do hope you and everyone, will bear with me as I adjust to this unfamiliar communicative venue…..I completely respect your freely offered perspective, and do reflect on perhaps what experiences evoked such sentiments….I'm sure I'll gain a lot from what you offer and hope I ultimately offer you something valuable in return……Thank you for your request….I reciprocate your request……frpmd…..
