SUPER METHADONE WOMAN

I can write about my own problems fitting into the way most civilized people view how people should come to terms with the use of drugs, including alcohol. I am as embarrassed as ever, but we certainly must overcome this, or we will continue to make a mess of our existence. Thank you, William Burroughs, and all the writers of history. Now I am grieving the loss of our compassion and sympathy for elderly and people who suffer from pain.
