I think that a lot of people who feel they are wired up wrong or just not too tightly wrapped take to drink/drugs as an escape from such an overwhelming world..I think we have to try different stategies to help ourselves deal with our adversities and/or inability to cope with the anguish and pain....I know I started my addictions as an escape instead it made matters worse, I just keep picking myself back up again and I try to celebrate my differences and uniqueness....don't always work though otherwise I guess I wouldn't be baring my soul here, one thing I do know is I am grateful for each and everyone of you splendid souls.
love indie
