Hi Mark

I am sitting in my office listening to you on the radio. So far today I have enjoyed it all. I didn't know you were gay. I don't care if your gay. I can't see how that changes my life. I just enjoy your approach to people who call in to you because your encourage them that there is a light at the end of the tunnel. That is my thought to. I say ''Today is a good day some, are just better than others.'' 'NEXT" Some people can't stand that you have overcome many difficulties in your life to become a person who once again, not only likes himself but contributes so much to others. More...

Nightcap does not help you sleep

Many people swear by a late night tipple to help them fall asleep.

However, a study by scientists in Canada suggests they may, in fact, be fooling themselves.

VOODOO DRUG ADDICTION RECOVERY

By Mark Elliot

Imagine being addicted to a drug like heroin and trying to find an effective remedy that works fast and keeps you from going back again.

How about Spit- therapy? That’s one where other addicts in treatment spit on you as a punishment for wrong-thinking. Never heard of it?

Well, how about Desert Therapy? As one organization explains it: "providers who are committed to the utilization of outdoor modalities to assist young people and their families to make positive change."
