You're a good friend, xie. orlith seems to be a very dedicated and hard-working person, and good for him. Dealing with addiction and having the addictive urge in the chemical make-up is a very difficult thing to live with, I know. This really reminds me that I'm very lucky that my addiction didn't permanently mark me, beyond having to resist it. I have so much respect for anyone who turns life out as best it can be, especially in light of chronic illness. I don't know if I could do it, to have such a good attitude with grace and humor.

Anyway, I'm babbling. Good for orlith for demonstrating his class in that link you have up.
