Annelies Bon  & Netters,

Just a reminder that all the above are addictions and each can be put into
remission through their individual 12-step programs.  There are over 50,
12-step programs today for various addictions.  You might have the addiction
for life, but as long as you attend the meetings and work the 12-steps, you
can keep your addiction in remission for life.
