Oh, Dennis, I'm so very sorry to hear you were with your Dad when he died. How traumatic for you and yet what a gift you gave your Dad by being there.
You did a brave thing by throwing your addiction out the window (literally) after 12 years!!
I can't imagine quitting cold turkey like that. Congratulations!
If you wear the patch to bed it gives you crazy dreams. Kinda like reliving the '60's.
I get to travel to Europe in my dreams --the only way I'll ever get there, so there's a plus side.
