Prey-tell "Bobert", where would you suggest I find a trove or rather "vast
majority" or recovered addicts to view and then mimic, other than "the
program"? How can you tell a recovered addict, from your everyday, run of
the mill, man about town? And why not Usenet? I enjoy the anonymous nature,
as well as the fact that I don't have to listen to anal snatches like you
"share" for 20 minutes, while the repugnant odors of tobacco and stale
coffee permeates every pore of my being. You seem a wee bit uptight .....you
should get on some mood stabilizers, (Lithium & Depakote both worked well
for my X). In closing, I would normally thank you for the help, but you
weren't any help what-so-ever.
