I tried to fill a void in me with all kinds of stuff...nothing ever came close...

But I had much better results when I tried healing that void.

Maybe thats something to think about?



That's a really big call to make on the back of one post Jeff.

There's a vast mental component to addiction that defies simple categorisation, I think.

If that wasn't true, noone would drink again after the physical withdrawal.

Excellent advice
