Thanks for sharing. That takes balls. My sister now 47 looks 65 and she started my daughter on it.. my sister says she is wants to kick but never takes steps to do it. My daughter did and we are thankful... it drained my savings accounts.... rehab is expensive.... I lost allot of equipment to her addiction which she pawned or sold to get a fix. Its all water under the bridge ....she is alive and doing great. You will be in my prayers Sam I Am On Mar 14, 2016 2:39 PM, "Sam Lambie" <[email protected]> wrote:
