Subject: Hey Mark!
Mark, you know me as Matty. Just
wanted to tell you that I think you're doing a fabulous job over there.
People helping people is a great outlet not only for those recovering
from addictions but for the average Jo Blow to.
I learn so much from listening to your show when I get a chance.
There are an awful lot of hurting people who listen to you.
Did you come up with this show on your own?

An Anorexic's
Story
By Amanda
Gardner
From HealthScoutNews
| When Jenny "Hendricks"
was 14, she offered to keep her mother company on a diet for
Lent. When Lent ended, Jenny just kept on dieting.
The illness came on with alarming
speed. The 5-foot-tall Denver teenager ate only lettuce and
cottage cheese and drank only diet soda. Her weight
plummeted from 90 pounds. She lost interest in her beloved
horse and withdrew from other activities. Within two months,
she was hospitalized for the first time, and she began a
diary, in which she wrote:
"Today I weighed 79-3/8 [pounds]. What a pig."

PH.D. TAKES FALL TO ADDICTION
SAN FRANCISCO - Isaac sleeps in his
closet, in a corner carved out from all the dirty clothing
on the floor of his Tenderloin apartment.
That's a long way from the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology, which awarded him a dual doctoral degree in
architecture and media arts and sciences a decade ago.
He is now 47 and addicted to crystal methamphetamine, an
unusually powerful form of what's commonly known as speed.
He suffers from depression and has been hospitalized for
speed-induced psychosis. He has had surgeries on his hands
for abscesses that he developed from injecting the drug.
When he's not too depressed to have sex, he logs on to the
Internet and arranges to meet a sex partner -- all faster
than he can get his takeout delivered.

Irina and Raz live
in a handsome old house on a pretty side street near the corner of
Dundas and Sherbourne. I've written about them before. They are a
handsome couple. They have a young son and they have two old white cats.
They make their living in the arts. The house is tastefully decorated.
They are smart, thoughtful and hard-working people. A perfect picture?
