Thanks for doing this!!!

I haven't checked out the page much yet, although I want to. Have some learning disabilities that seem to make reading difficult these days.

I am 3-1/2 months clean off alcohol,
1-1/2 months clean off pot.
A few days clean off abilify.
2 days clean from a large bingo hall.
1 day clean from an accupressure class.

I'm hoping to get a little relief from my life soon.
all blessings,
Jude
