I just wanted to thank you for all the honesty you have laid out here and let you know how much it has helped me already.<br /><br />I am the wife of an addict who is currently serving prison time for crimes committed while under the influence. <br /><br />I've just started blogging about our story and our struggle.

The guys I worked with said as a last resort they'd even go as far as threatening to turn a user in to cops if they didn't come back and see them about "money" or something.
