Hi mdeso, I think anyone who's never been addicted is way ahead of me as far as maturity, potential for growth and a general appreciation of life. Anyone who's never been addicted is probably already honest, open minded and willing. And smart enuf to stay away from overconsumption. My motto in active addiction was "anything worth doing is worth overdoing". People who've never been addicted know moderation is the key. I wish I'd been a "normy". God bless.
