If you'd be so kind as to share, I'm very interested in any common threads you may see in the people who ultimately crash back down. I grew up in pretty extreme poverty, got a big break of sorts, and I do my best to avoid ending up back where I came from.

Well, in my case, I’m dealing with recovering drug addicts.

With addicts, the formula is pretty simple. You relapse into using (including alcohol), you crash and burn. Often, in spectacular fashion.

When recovering, the organization I work with, has tools that give an unfair advantage in the Game of Life. Keep on the path, and things can go amazingly well. Stray off, though, and there’s hell to pay.

I’m not especially comfortable, saying much more, in public. It’s a very sensitive and controversial topic, and folks tend to get a bit … extreme … when discussing it.
