Wow--is this ever timely for me. I'm an alcoholic and a drug addict--going on 25 years myself. My last drink (so far) was Monday (all day) because on Tuesday I had to go for my arraignment for felony theft of drugs (from work) and I really "needed" it. Going to court is no fun, but going hung-over is even MORE no fun. I've been "dry" since tuesday but I was really, REALLY thinking of drinking today. Until you brought this up. Thank you.

I am going to lose my license, my career (such as it was going) and face time in prison. I am sad to say that it was it has taken to wake me up to my addictions. I was/am (?) and every-other day sort of drinker (pint and 1/2 of Absolut qod) and took all the percocets, vic ES, demerol, MSo4, benzo's I could lay my hands on. I never copped on the street---I don't know how, and I've tried!--I always, ALWAYS took from work. I stole from the pharmacy machine that dispenses drugs---one for the patient and two for me.

I know this will really make some Cellarites mad, but I'm just going to hit "post quick reply" and let it go. If you want to hate me for it, hate me.

But, again, busterb, thanks for showing some uncommon courage.
