I have become friends with someone I met a while back who has an unusual job. Dangerous Deb is an addiction recovery talk show host. We got to talking and found our mission to be the same, spreading the recovery word. I use blogs, she uses radio

Saw the youtube clip, look at the links. Man addictions are everywhere. A friend of mine used to be an alcoholic, well he still is, but doesn’t drink anymore, but i’ve seen him going from bad to worse. He still struggles with the fact he cant drink. He thus avoids parties, family days and holidays. Even now he doesn’t drink, his life still isn’t what it should be.
