Addicted people are a peculiar bunch. You'd be surprised at how many people ask me questions, pretending that they've read the Rational Recovery book and didn't understand it, when in fact, they've only gone through the 15-minute crash course. I've lost track of how many asked about a book on tape so they could listen to it in the car on the way to work as opposed to actually — (gasp!) —
reading.

That's a good attitude, Chakaido. Always remember, unnatural, unhealthy dependence is your real problem here, and more dependence won't solve it. The more you can do for yourself, the better off you'll be, and the better you'll feel about yourself.

You're welcome. I don't do slogans.
