  1. Hello Jacquie,
    Guess who celebrated 34 years of continuous sobriety on Oct 4th.

I do take opiates; the lowest amount…no more than twice a day. Funny when u use them for their intended purpose you don’t get high. Lately they’re not working very well. Looks like knee replacement is in the near future.

    Please keep me on your mailing list.
