Hope you enjoy the information and find humor with the 3 characters I do i.e. John Barleycorn (the Realist), Hugs Not Drugs ( A Spiritual Entity), and Dr.Ugs (the antithesis of a Realist and a Spiritual Entity).

I loved this November Month! Celebrated 46 years of Chemical Dependency Recovery; ‘The Transformation of Dr.Ugs’ described as ‘a lil’ gem’ is can be puchased on Amazon or Reading Glass Books Bookstores or online; 2 surprise birthday parties (75 freaks me out) one in NYC and one in West Hartford; lots of kudos on Facebook and from 12 steppers in CT & Fla. ; finally grateful to the 2 Spiritual Retreats I attend yearly that are coming very soon. Life is good when I stay out of the way! Thankyou. Thank you. Thank you.
Peace Out Everyone.
