Thanks, W., I sorta knew that was your vantage point from your measured approach, and I thank you for expanding on it. I suspected too, that you were more than competent to speak on your own behalf.
Please, no defense is needed because no attack was intended. I chose to emphasize that there are indeed alternatives that do not necessarily increase the risks that we all face as substance abusers and addicts.
We dry drunks gotta stick together! Best to you.
Give me that man that is not passion's slave, and I will wear him in my heart's core, in my heart of heart, as I do thee.
