WHERE I AM

Well here I am trying to get some writing done before I go bed. The 61 year-old divorced drug counselor. My daughter and her husband are asleep in the next room. Things really are pretty good. I got a condo car in a job. Of course their frustrations every place. The right-wing is trying to eliminate drug counseling as a field. My daughter is weird, because she says what ever it takes to get her way.

The tide is starting to change when it comes to drug counseling but things will get worse before they get better. There is no effective treatment for addiction. It's not like when you break your arm and you put your arm and a cast and your arm heals. The problem is most addicts believe that their drug is helping them. And today's except for the side effects. Alcoholics think too much alcohol makes them stupid. This allows them to function, but being stupid, is too high a price to pay. Heroine addicts feel too much and heroine makes people numb. The only problem with it is it makes people numb. Yet even though the cure rate is abysmally low for every dollar spent on drug treatment society saves $10.


The problem is most people are trapped in their own perceptions and only want to see things from their perspective. Jesus said, "The truth shall make you free." the only problem is. People don't seem to want to be either.
