Gneiss...giving an alkie a credit card isn't that smart either...lol. sounds like a change of scene will be good for you.
V....my sisters ex did a lot of work with veterans returning from the middle east. A lot of the injured get hooked on painkillers what with the ptsd and stuff. He was trying to establish a program to deal with pain using alternative methods...I wish I knew more about it but my sister broke up with him. Anyway...it sounds like a fantastic field to go into...tough but rewarding:-)
