This is a good thread... There are many people who sit and let others do for them what they can do for themselves....and you don'[t have to be an addict to behave in that manner. I, myself have gone through friends that tell those little white lies just to cover their butts at times. Life is a journey and at every turn we have to protect ourselves from harm even if we don't think its around the corner. Thank you everyone that has replied to this thread......you were honest and straightforward.
