Well, HereInFla, you and I are often in agreement.
And alcohol will definitely get you physically addicted. It is more of a concern in detox than cocaine.
I guess my point is that rehab and AA and NA are full of people that no one should be around. Taking up a hobby and changing your way of life sounds dumb but will work in the end.
Enough said from me, I guess.
I'm pontificating, again!
