I attended...I enjoyed reading what Monalee shared. I attended BCI - Claymont 2 years ago and got to meet Monalee and staff. I moved away for a summer and then I returned attending 2nd Street Alpha Bldg. in Wilm. Monalee's favorite client success story was interesting and probably very common - many people underestimate and minimize the effects of Marijuana in their lives. I was a daily smoker only in high school and I know the effects. The denial is very strong as it is with all drugs. I found it easier to function using marijuana than say when I started using harder drugs like crack cocaine which took away ALL my morals. I still believe marijuana is a gateway drug for Most people. Not all. I have found the internet like life, can be used for a positive in recovery or a negative... It is our choice. PP&T - I have a choice what I read and participate in. Addiction exists even more so on line as I have experienced. Thanks for letting me share. And thank you Monalee for your service.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
