Well, I bin a bitin' my tongue for quite awhile - Jus a readin an' a cullin' the sane posts from the insane. It all matches the pattern folks. The person with the problem is the last to recognize it. There's a million reasons why one shouldn't do this stuff. Equally, there's a million excuses one can use to justify (in their own mind) why it's just fine. Truth is, those persons with one form of dependancy or another won't recognize the reasons not to from the excuses until one of the following happens - When they've hit the absolute bottom, or When incarceration 'helps' them dry out. We can only hope that they harm no one in the often looooong and often elusive process (not even themselves). What must be remembered - Albeit, those that abuse, or, those that make the one-time mistake - You, and only you are responsible for your actions - There are no valid excuses. You and a whole bunch of people will be the recipient of them.
My hat is off to those that posted similar sentiments. The rest of you can go crap in your hats.
Peace, out
