Like I stated in the sidebar of this blog, I am no expert on recovery. So, I am using this post to refer you to some resources. If you, or someone you care about, wants to get help. Or you are looking for information on the disease of addiction, please see the following;
I pulled these from ARG. (Great Source!!)
