Re: OT: Addictions (was Elderly parents)

Well,this was a rather heavy-duty email, until I got to your sentence " don't

know which is more addicting, the valium or the emails on this site. " And then

I started laughing! But you're right. Do you remember when people wanted to

stop smoking, it was often advised to replace a harmful addition with a positive

addiction, like exercise? I think the emails on this site are a positive

addiction!

But I do think, between the benzo and the valium, that most of your fatigue is

physcial and cannot be helped until you complete your withdrawal.

Well I have heard some thunder, so I guess I'd better turn off this machine--I

hate to do it ... Have a good night! Khaya
