when i heard re whitney i had an immediate reaction-anger. not at whitney but this disease of addiction. i don't know if it's confirmed but i know she had an addiction dependance for a long time. i wish she had chosen to get help and live drug free. so many, many people die from all walks of life cause they don't choose the "easier softer way." oh the power of drugs and alcohol...to destroy so many people. it makes my heart ache.
they say it's a selfish program/AA. but for the grace of god go i. i feel so grateful i am in recovery. any one of us in recovery can make the wrong choice. may those of us be ever vigilant to avoid the lure of drugs/alcohol. i will pray for those still suffering. in many cases that's all i can do. for others i will try to offer hope and be part of the solution.
