Richard,

Oh, no! I did not think you were "busting my chops" at all! LOL I just meant that I think the warm and fuzzies are important, too. That's all. I couldn't imagine a world without them.

But, I also understand where you are coming from. Like I said, I've never been in this situation. The closest I come to knowing ANYTHING about being dependant on drugs and/or alcohol is from knowing my mother. She's an alcoholic. I didn't take any offense from anything you said. I couldn't imagine being in Psyclox's shoes, and I don't ever want to be. I just want him to know that I am here for the kind words that I'm sure he'll need to hear...(and that goes for anyone else that needs them too!!). Sorry about the misunderstanding!

Bama,
I have read alot of your posts too. I can almost feel your pain through your words. I'm thinking good thoughts for you! Relapsing must make you feel like the ultimate failure. But you're not. There are people out there that wouldn't DARE try to get to the point you got to before your relapse. And even you said that you learned something from it. That's wonderful. I will tell you like I told Psyclox. I KNOW YOU CAN DO IT!! And I'll even be your own personal cheerleader if ya need it! All 3 of you, take care.
