hey DK
hi Husky Pup - come on up to newcomers sometime if you like - I can't promise you won't get stepped - AAers are people too LOL....they're just trying to help...
but I'll always keep an eye on things when I'm there
I know the self medication trap - I have cerebral palsy - a few drinks or a few joints loosened me up and stopped the shakes and the pain'n'discomfort...until I got a whole new lot of problems along with the drinking/smoking....then both the weed and the booze didn't work so well...
there's got to be a better way to manage physical pain HP - preferably overseen by someone else
