Drug addicts

Recommended Posts

Are there a lot of recovering drug addicts/ alcoholics in skydiving? I know there are plenty of active ones, but its the recovering ones I'm interested in.

They gotta be careful of what they substitute their addiction with.:D


I'd rather smoke up than have a cock in my mouth:D

I'm proud to say I dont do either.

I figure when it's down to doing the 12-step thing or being dead, the 12-step thing is probably the better option. But that's just my opinion.

Sounds like VERY good thinking to me, IN FACT that's why I am alive today :)

And luckily, doing the 12-step thing or being dead are not the only two options for addicts. (Though unfortunately, that is what most treatment programs will tell them.)

And what a lot of experience "quitting" tells a lot of others.

Dot know about there, but here inOZ, there are many promoted methods of getting and staying clean.
If fact a lot of money is made trying to convince people to NOT do 12 step programs.

12 Step programs are not for everyone, but they do work and work they well for those who work it.

Some things are better kept to ourselves. After all I could say rehab is for weak minded loosers but that would not be very nice now would it.
Also would be very inaccurate:ph34r:
