Very good article.
Wow! Yes, very good article..
wow, what a touching story and so sad, i could never follow that guys footsteps each day plus work in a mine!!! no way i could ever do that. this article surely shows the epidemic of drug abuse and like the article stated and the same is true for me, i got hooked from a simple tooth extraction and many people were just trying to relieve pain for a legitimate reason.
this is where we get so caught up in the quicksand of addiction, we will do ANYTHING to prevent us from having to feel the awful awful feelings of withdrawals and thats where we get stuck.
i will never take coal mining for granted ever again after reading this article, what a dangerous job and in return they live in poverty it seems. jewels
