Addiction is bad for the addict and for the people around them. It is a hard battle to win. I appreciate the visit to my page. Sara

Apt for the times--they need help and treatment. Another splendid write, Juliet, on a topic we can all relate to.

People usually think of drugs and alcohol, but addiction comes in all forms. It breaks my heart. Thanks for your visit.

It's cool to see you doing them on your own! Unless... did Kim start doing them all over again with A?? good one!

My inspiration is gone, but I found this form quick and easy (sometimes) to put together, so I thought I'd venture out on my own.
