Have been with both Devils for many previous years as I was in a traveling Band.No soap box,I've been sober for 16 years and enjoy my life today.I still have friends that still drink,drug and that's great,it works for them,not me...
I also have many friends that passed due to addiction.That was their path,I miss them very much but you cannot change people.Live your life how you want,if you need help its out there,if it is working for you-Let it Rock!
I don't get on a soap box,I'm just a survivor...so far,day to day.
