As I have been in Dual-Recovery (drug addiction/alcoholism PLUS schizoprenia/bipolar/panic attacks) since 4/28/84 I have been trying, and I mean brain-storming and talkung with my peers, trying to come up with acure for alcoholism/addiction plus anything to prevent even the onset of any and all addiction.Our collective answer? And this answer comes from a combined of over 150 years of Recovery from alcoholism/addiction/dual-diagnosed experience! IMPOSSIBLE TO COMPLETELY PREVENT! There will NEVER be a drug-free America! Damn it! I curse because I know the hell of active dual-diagnosis! And the life long Recovery odds are at best slim!
I believe most of the money put into problem alcoholics/addicts/dual-diagnosis individuals should be put toward Recovery from. "Like...?" you ask. Education...not just of the dangers of drugs/booze/dual-diagnosis, but just plain ild education! I, personally, made excellent grsdes in high school and made the Dean's List in Engineering @ Purdue University. You try it...stonef/depressed/hallucinating!
Upon initial Recovery indtead of thinking: "Damn! How do I make a buck for a good life in Recovery? Deal drugs?" Instead, I knew I absolutely loved Purdue and could make something outta myself! So I tried! And now I'm coming up on 30 years in Recovery! I love being a model citizen! And I'm trying to pass it on to anyone who wants Dual-Recovery!

Still Kickin!
As I haven't blogged in a while I'm still thriving alive and haven't found it necessary to drink/drug nor go off my meds nor do anything stupid! As those can be enough to entirely consume some like me I have been able to reassert myself into the world of literature. I have developed an entirely new manner with which to tackle my desire to write my memoirs, go places that help me in my Recovery from Dual-Disorders and maintain my sanity. So to speak! I have been writing furiously and love every bit of it and have around seven or more novels in me merely by way of memoirs! I have done a lot of living while having to suffer during most of it, there are hunks of my life which were an entirely entertaining set of schizophrenia-caused hàllucinations that were almost swashbuckling
and that/those are what I am writing about.
