Aku,What an awesome accomplishment! I am trying to commit myself to "journaling"I do enjoy going back and reading what I wrote weeks ago. Hard to explain! I have a book from when I was in rehab for 5 weeks back in 02... I've come a long, long way..But I do not have the gift for "poetry". Would you consider sharing some of your poetry with us??? For Christmas my son gave me the book Birdsong - Rumi A persian poet. I have also bought so many cards by Maya Aneglou - her poetry is beautiful and she also has such agift for writing verses that you felt but didn't know how to put into words. I am also going to try Naltraxone but I think I'm supposed to slowly wean myself off of Lyrica? What has been your experience with Naltraxone? ShalomTrudy - in wet, rainy, damp Virginia - hey - maybe I'll try to turn that into a poem.I doubt it tho... my growing up years you weren't even allowed to color "outside the line"
