Hey fishin, you know how I feel about this topic. You and I have the same patterns, re getting clean, then relapse, again and again and again.

So very glad you are with me in our new GUW group. It's nice to have a new place to go, free from trolls.

Glad you like my Deepak quotes, I have more for you, as time allows. he is an incredible visionary.

Hey Miss E! how are you today?? I hear what you are saying about the off switch. I have an off switch for everhthing I ever abused in the past. Except for weed. And my little E addiction. lol No off switch ever needed for that one.

Thanks to all of you, thanks for this great new group. Peace to all, more later, hugs from tinder and mystro.

LOL, dontread, I am addicted to my remote control and my DVR. And my media addiction. Wow, I have so many. but I am of the belief, as is fishin, that we need to replace our bad addictions with good ones.

More on that later, I have some quotes I want to post here, soon okay?
