Addictions of life.

Sometimes I wonder what my life would be like if I had gone down another path....my family has a history of addictions. Alcohol, Pot, pills....any of it. I came close to losing control a few times, but there was always something pulling me back. Not letting me go down that line. It's interesting. Oprah has on James Frey. He has suffered alcoholism, drug addictions, and pretty much anything else he has tried. I started reading his book about a week ago now. It's wonderful. Not wonderful in the "you're suffering" way, just wonderful to experience such an overload of emotion without having the hard toxic effects on yourself. make sense?? that possibly makes me sound terrible, I don't mean it that way. It's just so intense and interesting...I can't put the book down. I definitely recommend reading it.
