I’m on a 10 day vacation to Washington DC. I love to see how other people live and explore new places other than California, where I have spent so much of my life. It’s exciting here in DC. I feel the energy in the air, and there is so much to do and see, and never enough time. The row houses are beautiful, with the bricks or stucco, painted shutters, and quaint little gardens. I’m noticing many young people here in DC, who appear to be driven, focused, and I would imagine leading healthy lives. Since starting my Treatment Talk website, and Blog, addiction continues to be on my mind. I can’t help but wonder when you think back to our ancestors who started our country, would they have ever imagined in their wildest dreams what would become of so many of our beautiful boys and girls. As I toured Arlington Cemetery today, and looked at all those tombstones of the brave men and women who lost their lives for our country, I couldn’t help but think of those who are losing their lives today because they would rather be high. It makes me sad to think of all those lost lives from the past, and yet, what about those lost lives from the present who have so much to live for?
