Why do you hate drugs? Is there some reason you think you should have to be without them?

The only reason i ask is because I used to hate them too. I thought they were a sign of weakness. Now I realize that we are all different, biologically, bio chemically, emotionally and environmentally (our life experiences.) When you combine our environment with our biology we each have a unique makeup.

Sometimes a toxic buildup of chemicals in our bodies prevents us from living life to the fullest and in a way that allows us just to be. Thankfully, there are some medications that can help. The operative word here is help. The rest is up to us, but often the drugs make the other work possible.

Good luck Phil. I hope you find some peace. Keep talking to your Dad, as it sounds like you two can connect.
