Wow, Patrick, I am truly humbled. I am happy you have found something of value on my blog. I started it as a place simply to write what I needed to say about being a newcomer in recovery, but it grew into something much more if I have been able to touch even one person. I appreciate your reading it. Drop me some comments or email if you like (scoutegrl@aol.com).
I have been through much of your website now. It looks awesome and there is a ton of good stuff here, Patrick.
Peace to you and Thank You so much,
Scout
