I sent you a "friend request" and frankly am a novice at this "friend" business. I don't Twitter or Facebook (at least not yet) Anyway, when I saw Jackstem's message to you I wanted to make you one of my contacts because I respect his perspective on addiction recovery.

I liked what you said on the "my friend got in trouble for self reporting" by pollyanna thread and I will be interested to read your other posts when I get the time.

I loved your thread regarding the knowledge (or lack thereof) about addiction, recovery, and state alternative to discipline programs. I was wondering if you'd be OK with me quoting it on my blog. All identifying information would be removed. The only statements I would use before the quote would be "from a nursing web site" and "used with permission".

If this is a problem let me know. I understand and will use something else.

Thanks for the passion you bring to this topic!
