95 posts & counting...But I have yet to chime in. I understand those of you who find warnings (ad nauseum) about leading a substance free existence "uncalled for." The fact is, however, the co-morbidity rate between BP & substance abuse is upwards of 30%, so a word of warning is entirely appropriate, in my humble opinion. For the 60% of you who don't have this problem, I can understand how some of the advice/responses you get may seem annoying. To quote the late Rodney King, "Can't we all just get along?"
Thanks for this!
