Hey Kiwi -- I think you're spot on about the addiction, and as tough as it is, do you really think slavery is better than freedom? Not to put too fine a point on it, or veer inappropriately into one religious tradition at the expense of another, but poor old Moses had a heck of a time leading those Israelites from slavery in Egypt into the freedom of the Promised Land, even though the Israelites had cried out for generations, asking for help.
Once on the road, all they wanted to do was return to the "fleshpots of Egypt," where at least they had food and water.
"Those of us who don't know history are doomed to repeat it."
Surely you don't want to return to a life of slavery where the best thing you can say about your life is "at least..."????
You've been so important to so many of us here, including me .. i urge you to move forward and resist the temptation to look back. I promise the past is not nearly as rosy as addiction tends to paint it.
