To the well meaning people of substance abuse.
No doubt and it is obvious human recovery rate is low. That’s why it is important to believe in something (if even just for hope) but it is more important to know what one is believing in. If someone needs just an agreement the high recovery rate for humans concerning dependency’s is epidemically low, most are unhappy, die or go insane.
This maybe not accepted by people with other disorders but that’s why a higher power is needed at least especially after listening to all the crying due to results. Its not about the abuse of substance no more than its about what one drank or how much one drinks, its why one drinks which is a lack of substance, I am confused are we talking about alcoholism “drinking” or something else here?
Is someone claming to be a pathway for drugs and other human dependences here?
No clam No fame and No blame.
So gentleman or ladies please present your complaints or clams in a direction that maybe of help to something and if you can’t find that something be thankful
P.S another outside issue
