does scotch cure alcohalism? I dont think so. i was a hard core alcoholic for 30 years, wasted my precious human life in a drunken stupor. 4 years ago i got a 1/2 oz of good weed and and with the encouragement and support of my friend of 32 years and now wife of 4 years, managed to withdraw from demon rum with the help of the weed, and didnt have any trouble stopping using weed, i started meditating about then and that has helped me understand how the mind insidiously convinces you addiction isnt a problem. meditating led me to meet some Tibetans and i have taken Refuge reciently after studying Buddhism for almost 4 years now. i am completly free of any craving or desire for any 'substance', tho i could really use a job right now. i am soooo greatful it brings tears to my eyes when i think about it.
