Here's a good one.... Came from Andrew Young (U.S. Ambasador to the UN and former mayor of Atlanta, GA). "Why is it, that we try to shield our children from the same struggles that made us who we are?"
He made this comment in reference to a question from a reporter on the attitude of his parents when he left home to work with Martin Luther King in the civil rights movement.

Hi Jerri.
My posting is Carri37 about Fioricet and Ultram addiction. If you get a chance will you send me an e-mail about whithdrawl and how long it takes. I believe I read that you have been through. ( I hope I have the right person, if not sorry.) I am planning on going to rehab for the second time tomorrow. I just have to muster up the courage. I am just really ashamed I let myself get hooked again and sacred and depressed. My only support system is here. I have a husband and 3 year old daughter. I am scared about the withdrawl/detox. Last time I went, which was about this time last year, I was given 1 Librium, clonidine and a multi vitamin. It was awful. I know detox is no picnic but there has to be something to help you get off. Once i get off i will stay clean. My daughter is my means for staying clean. I need to love myself enough and realize that i love myself enough to get off but right now I am just doing it for her. I am just really mad and upset that I have done this again. My husband is furious at me and he has every reason. I just want to know that I am not a bad person because this happened again. I am trying but the depression is getting to me. Your e-mails to others seemed so kind and I just wanted to send you a note.
Thanks,
Jill
