| 2008-11-17 | Heather | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Thank you so much for your timely, knowledgeable, and insightful response. I will continue to research the link between addiction and hypoglycemia and perhaps be able to utilize the connection to reshape my diet and facilitate recovery. Maybe one day I can wake up and not NEED to use. I still find that day impossible to even imagine, but perhaps a combination of tactics will enable me to make it a reality. Thank you so much! |

| 2008-07-22 | Brittany | 7 | 9 | 10 | 10 | No | That was extremely helpful, thank you. I didn't know about the nutritional diets they can follow to help stabilize moods; I have it in my mind to take her out for some mood-calming dinner, my treat. I'm still reading through the wide range of resources you gave me; thank you again. |

I know that I couldnt help him the only thing that I feel bad about Is that I stayed in the relationship to long and by Gods grace I gott out and got out alive. Now me and my girls will start our life over for the better and I hope I never see or be withanyone like him again. Now starts the process of healing for my whole family.thank you again God bless you for all you do for some many people who need answers to question about addiction like myself... |

| 2007-10-10 | Dave | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | i appreciate your time in answering my email. I was hoping that you'd give some insight as to what the kid might do next so we can be better "prepared". If violence might occur, I'll likely have my mom move in until the kid can get treatment. I'll check out the web sites you provided. Dave |
