So true YYZ! I had no self esteem left to take any hits before I finally built up the courage to go and get something done about it.(with your prodding of course) Best thing I have ever done. It makes me look back now that I am receiving treatment and trying to turn things around. I now see why add'ers are so resilient. We are a hard breed to keep down. We have taken so many hits to self esteem through out our lives. We have no choice but to build up walls. But we always seem to bounce back. For awhile anyway. But I was getting tired of having to bounce back and was starting not to care and I was beginning my spiral down. But I am running back up my spiral at full steam

Oh and as you say. I would love to see that lady last a month in the hell we went through in our life.
