There is a new drug in town

and its called recovery…

When I was using drugs and alcohol, I was always chasing a buzz of some kind. Anything to get me away from the bad feelings I always felt inside.

Last night I had that same buzz. But, unlike the ones I knew before, this one has not worn off yet. And I am not dreading the come down like I used to.

I love this feeling and this is one drug/feeling I want more of.

You guys talking about recovery is obviously rubbing off.

I want it!

I think you may already have it. And once you’ve ‘got it’ it is hard to shake off and dead contagious!

Indeed, you spend all those years chasing highs by taking drugs and alcohol, and then you find out that recovery is the biggest buzz of all, the high that you’ve been looking for all this time.

Spread the word

viva la revolution

That’s the idea behind this community – and we can start dealing it, spreading our distribution base, recruiting new dealers…

and what’s more, it’s free. Well, it does take some commitment to use it well. People can help you get the best from it though.

Louis, what a great blog! Let’s think of more analogies.

ah Louis, trouble is you gotta keep going back to the dealers! and it requires effort and going against oneself to get addicticted to it, just the same as it was when we started smoking..etc etc
Just takes practice and soon you wont be able to live without it……..
great to see you blogging x

Pucker, so addicted in catching up with blogs Louis! you reminded me? -hit I have forgotten to take my drugs, thanks for blog, i am epileptic.

Yet back to you Louis, now pills are stuffed down my throat, I firmly believe Louis something will happen to you, and suddenly you will be on the road to recovery a bit futher than you are now.

Honestly from the heart, I have not met anyone who can honestly say what did it for them? Yup! might come up with AA and many other things yet deep down the miracle happens and the wonder of recovery really kicks in.

Best Wishes, keep it simple and look after your needs.
