We're listening, and now we have more questions ...

Howdy, readers.

We just want to let you know we're still here and we're still reading what you have to say.

After reading your amazing comments, we have some questions for you.

One trend we've noticed is the number of "functioning users." From nurses and engineers to moms and office professionals, it seems there are plenty of recreational users. Some of those recreational users are admittedly dependent on their drug(s) of choice, but they are still maintaining a working, presumably successful lifestyle.

In other words, they're not the stereotypical criminal drug user. Rather, they're upstanding and contributing members of society. Your pharmacist, your mailman, your realtor, your banker.

So here's our questions for you:
-Do the "functioning recreational drug users," consider yourselves users?
-Do you feel alone in this lifestyle or are your friends like you as well?
-Based on your co-workers and social circle, do you think drugs are not only more common but more acceptable than we're led to believe?

Oh, and help us out, too: Can someone explain to us what "cola" is?

Keep writing. We're listening. And tell your friends to chime in. We're all ears.

And, once again, thank you.

You're kidding, right? There's no fucking way your collective staff is that innocent. The only thing that makes sense, then, is that you are turning this into some kind of Springer-type joke. Regardless, you're losing credibility. For Christ sake! A lot of people have spilled what's left of their guts here because of a forum provided by B.W.

Slapping that line on at the end of a thinly veiled nudge for your more chemically inclined readers to dredge up and spew their despair is the equivalent of your staff being caught with their pants down. If you don't think that can mar a reputation, ask Mr. Craig.

If the staff of B.W. need a course in drug slang a more valuable research approach might be to speak to a few addicts and alcoholics at an N.A. or A.A. meeting. Or try the Walker Center in Gooding, or Port of Hope, or hell.. the mission. Asking such sophomoric questions would seem valid if the person posing the question were face to face with someone who could give them a real answer.

It is no secret that I have a very deep and personal relationship with God.
I have pushed and resisted that relationship this past year through all the
bullshit I have had to go through living with Herpes but once again, God is
bigger than my stubbornness and broke through that outbreak cold sore and
all I had Genital Herpes. For me personally, hearing over and over how I am
not good enough has really invaded my mind in the worst way possible. I
completely shut down and I was just waking up like is this how life going
to end this temporary herpes outbreak “fuck everybody with herpes if you
know what I mean” but let's be honest here...
It is a cowardly to say no to herbal medicine. It is fear based. And it is
dishonest to what my heart wants. Don't build a wall around yourself
because you are afraid of herbals made or taking a bold step especially
when it's come to health issues and getting cure. So many young men/ women
tell me over and over that Dr Itua is going to scam me but I give him a try
to today I feel like no one will ever convince me about herbal medicine I
accept Dr Itua herbal medicine because it's cure my herpes just two weeks
of drinking it and i have been living for a year and months now I
experience outbreak no more, You can contact him if you need his herbal
medicine for any such diseases like, Herpes,
Schizophrenia,Cancer,Scoliosis,Fibromyalgia,Fluoroquinolone Toxicity
Syndrome Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva.Fatal Familial Insomnia
Factor V Leiden Mutation ,Epilepsy Dupuytren's

Disease.,Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy, Ataxia,Cirrhosis of
Liver,Arthritis,Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis,Alzheimer's
disease,Adrenocortical carcinoma.Asthma,Allergic,HIV, Epilepsy,
Infertility, Love Spell,. Email..drituaherbalcenter@gmail.com then what's
app.+2348149277967.... My advice to any sick men/women out there is
simple... Be Always an open book. Be gut wrenching honest about yourself,
your situation, and what you are all about. Don't hold anything back.
Holding back will get you nowhere...maybe a one way ticket to lonelyville
and that is NOT somewhere you want to be. So my final truth...and I'm just
starting to grasp this one.
