I sure can't say I've "been there" but I'm proud of you Helon, Craig & anyone else who has fought this battle & come out the other side, & I hope you have
the courage to never relapse. Humans are complicated...reasons to use aren't all the same...and I do think that our life experiences as well as our individual
brain chemistry & genetics probably do influence who falls into this pit & who doesn't. The main thing is that you scratched & clawed & climbed your way out
of hello. You'd have to live under a rock (which I don't) not to know how many others have been affected & how many never escape. Awesome too that
you hold your hands out to others needing help & inspiration.
