Can you tell me what your advise is to......Alexandra fox...who lives in a country that sells her DOC over the counter. Should she move out of country or never go into a drug store again ?

Or to   Alicenwonderlnd......who has her elderly mother living with her and taking pain pills.  Should she throw her mother out, so as not to be around the pills.

Or to    Loutsatrout  .....who lives in a very rural area and can not get to N/A meetings.

Are you saying to these people that all hope is lost.  That they can never get clean.  I hope not.

No and I don't think I ever implied that I did.......but I'll tell you what I would do if I had to drive 50 miles a week to get to one my health would be worth the gas and the time it would take to do it.....

May I ask all three of you a question.......?

What do you think of Jennys response.........I'll cut and paste it here for you........

Well, I'm not beach, but since it's public, and not in his inbox, I feel like responding.  

1.  Alexandra SHOULD avoid drug stores if at all possible

2.  Maybe Alice should be honest with her mom, and buy her a safe

3.  Louts could move to a city where their are NA meetings, people have moved for less significant reasons that saving their life.

Just my opinion :) No offense
