SK> were anurse in the capacity of a "treatment advisor" or something to

SK> addict...do you?I'm talking first hand, not what patients TOLD me. 
I am still addicted to the foods that I shouldn't eat!  My mind has very 
inventive and creative methods of trying to get me to buy
tomatoes, for instance.  I have learned to think through whatever 
food cravings I get to the substance in whatever it is that I am really 
wanting that moment and not buy it. 
Which is what you have learned to do about drugs.  However, if you are given 
another drug in the same class as any which you know yourself to be addicted 
to, you are going to become addicted to the new drug within three days!
I also know what it is to be addicted to other things.  I was able, through 
the education I'd gotten, to recognize that I was in the late middle stage of 
alcoholism before I quit drinking.  Still had some "yets" left.  
SK> everNOT addicted, once addicted...always addicted". I disagree. To 
SK> believesuch a thing is to to a victim for life. To believe that you 
SK> arefree....MAKES YOU FREE! To hold THAT truth is to be cured and 
SK> clean forlife. What this principle takes is ...belief in ones self 
SK> and ones own 
To believe as you do makes one a sitting duck for the next drug that comes 
along, be it from a dentist, doctor, or friend.  The real freedom comes from 
the knowledge that anything that can be
done to the mind with the commonly abused drugs can be done to the mind 
without them!
And then to learn how to do just that.  No easy, softer way...just a lot of 
hard work and study.
