Actually to me , the fact that they are medical professionals makes it LESS understandable. If I were in a dire conditions and had serious health problems,. I would not want a drugged out doctor operating on me or a high nurse taking care of me.

How much did/do you smoke per day? My friend would smoke up to a quarter bag per day, and then get irritated when he couldn't find any more. Isn't this a bit too much even for an addict?

    Animal control officers seized several puppies from the property.  A chihuahua and a bird died in the fire.  Officers found two meth labs in the injured woman's basement, one in her car and another in a shed.  Detectives said they had seized two meth labs from the property in the past. 


Play with fire and you eventually get burned. Meth labs are notorious for exploding when novices do not really know what they are doing. Hopefully she learned her lesson.

With many people it won't work because they have the mindset that they are young now, and that they will quit before it gets too late. It's a good idea though, because a few may be scared into getting more healthy.

Many people have gotten addicted to Youtube lately and use their pc as a television as well. The cool thing about Youtube is you can find rare videos and also lots of new things. I have found myself almost becoming addicted at times.

Would you forgive your partner for infidelity if you knew for sure that they have a sex addiction but you also know that they love only you and all the others are just to feed their craving? I don't think I would be able to do it. Even if they went to counseling that would always be in the back of my head and I would always worry about relapse.
Coping with the loss of a pet

A lot of people don't seem to realize (unless they are pet owners themselves) that pets really do become a part of the family. So many people are quick to say that you can just get another cat or dog etc., but it really isn't that easy to replace a pet. How has everyone else coped with pet loss ?

I would love to see a feature where you can vote for the threads you think are exceptional. With so many threads, I would like to be able to categorize them by highest rated, or by date, lowest rated, etc.
