Nicely put Dee.
I know this isnt a competition to c who is the bigger addict if there is such a degree of addict, but I wonder do some folk lack certain equipment to deal with life, emotionally and spiritually.
Gotta say there are inspiring people here and there are people here who have been sober a long time who when I read their posts I feel like going straight for a bottle again. I wish the journey were less empty.
