As some of you may know, I am an addictions counselor. I thought if any of you may have questions concerning addiction, loved ones addicted, eyc. I would offer my services.

My advice is just that and you can take it or leave it, I do not profess to know how to "cure" but I am very strong in recovery and have helped many find a recovery.

I do not shove 12 step programs because they do not work for everybody. The problem many have with 12 step programs are they treat everyone's addiction the same and can be very robotic about how they treat people seeking recovery.

Unfortunately for some, people, especially addicts, are different, they have different needs, wants and reasons to recover.

In this cyber-space, I am wanting to help, and so I am offering. I can refer you to local private and public funded recovery centers, I can recommend ways to help yourself or a loved one find recovery. I can offer advice on how to deal with a loved one's addiction...... ask and I'll do what I can to help.

You can post or if you choose to remain anonymous feel free to e-mail me. No problem is too small and no problem too big..... Like I said my advice is just that and for legal, ethical and moral reasons I shall not nor will I ever profess that my advice is the only way. It is just one of many, but perhaps I can offer something that may help in some way.

I just love people who use the excuse "I use/do this because I LOVE the feeling/joy/happiness it brings me" and expect you to be ok with that as you watch them destroy their life blindly following. My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
