Hi Flavia,

Thanks for your reply.
You make a very interesting point there and no, I don’t feel angry reading your post, don’t worry about that.

It’s always productive to get a different perspective on how others perceive our thoughts and ideas.

Yes I am proud because, although I cannot go into details, I have always been too hard on myself and it has been bought to my attention that I should be proud to get through the very difficult times in my life, without resorting to drugs or alcohol – as I’m sure many others.
I am definitely not unique in that respect.

But we’ve all seen how people, especially youngsters do not seem to have the willpower or inner strength to know the damage drugs can do to mind and body.

But more of all, it saddens me to see people mess up their lives unnecessarily.
