Weight Relative to Criminalty

my daughter in law is in that business...addiction. I asked her once, politely and diplomatically if they were really able to help these people. no.

The only people that fix themselves do it because it is what they WANT to do. I know one alcoholic who stopped when he realized what he was doing to himself...saw hiimself in the mirror. 20plus years later...still good. You never hear about these people..they don't talk about it...and they're not giving out any stories or experience for statisticians. People break bad/deadly habits all the time. and they do it themselves (many with God's help).

That in its most simple form is correct, But people need help to reach that point, And being within a group of people in a similar situation can be helpful, you can build a community that can support you

Support is not only helpful but necessary for many when they reach that point.

You need to get out more you live in a blinkered world,,

Bartending is a good way to meet people.

Church is good , too.

But if you like women in black dresses, funerals are your best bet.

When I was young I got a job in a nightclub serving food for awhile just for the heck of it while I was doing law. The people who worked there were great and the music was awesome. I lasted TWO nights before the owner put me behind the bar serving drinks where there was a big barrier between me and THEM!

I swing between being social and the hermit world,

I went to the gas station a few days back, and the chic behind the counter had worked at a another joint I had frequented, Man she was fizzing at the bung when she saw me, I recon I could have shagged her right then over the counter , early thirties , Don't underestimate a little charisma
