That's a very sweet thing to say, ananda.
Honestly...I don't want anyone to see me relapse and think it's okay for him/her to relapse, too. I know I can't stay sober for anyone except for myself, but I do know that every word that I write can impact someone. I'm scared of the responsiblity attached to that...and I don't think I can live up to it. I understand that the individual ultimatley decideds what to do...and that no one person can force that individual into using. But....we are social beings...and our actions do impact others.
