[QUOTE="Big Bad Kitty, post: 84256, member: 3647"] Here's another ugly side to addiction. An addict can realistically spend years in prison, not using drugs, but not recovering, if he chooses not to go to the meetings provided and work the steps. He can spend his time there in a dry drunk, miserable, counting the days till he can drink and drug again. And nobody can make him go. He has to want to. He can be there 10 years, and think he has the problem licked. But he will have been acting like as much of a jerk as he did when he was drinking. He'll get out and start using again, and be right back where he was. But, you can't "beat" addiction. It's with you forever. [/QUOTE]
