Yeah, that possessive apostrophe always eludes me, and I can't see to find any modern

I'm not sure how I would find the link to that dream post, as I've posted several
About my dreams, but I'll try to find it. I don't even remember the name
Of the post. I'll try though, a most unusual dream premise
I was a slave to drugs and alcohol for 40 yrs, in and out of rehabs, but never
The VA. I DID go into the VA Homeless Veterans Domiciliary for 6 months.

        The alcoholism started for me in the Marine Corps, ah yes.. founded in a bar Tun Tavern Philadelphia PA, 1775, we work hard , play hard, and breed homeless alcoholics with PTSD!

        And became coupled with cocaine addiction during perpetual homelessness over the course of 10 years.

        The facility I was in was also a domiciliary/rehab. They housed up to 180 the first time I went, but had been cut back to around 150 inpatient residents the fourth time I was there.

        I had to deconstruct what they were teaching, I really did, because I found it to be (in my own perception) revolving door principles which have many fallacies. You cannot question these fallacies really. It's simply black and white, and nothing more, and if you do not conform to these "principles" and accept them, then you will continually relapse and come back. They pretty much stamp that as a guarantee.

        Well the funny thing about that is, how high relapse rate seems to be, So.. That is a major fallacy in and of itself! Because most people suffering from addiction seem to adopt the principles at face value, are impressionable and desperate, and few really question them.

        To make it short, I don't buy most of it, and I'm going on 3 years now clean and sober, unless you consider cannabis (which the rehabs do) still being in addiction. I've also cut that out for the past two months, due to finances and unreliable connections to obtain it here. Cannabis helped me stay off the booze and cocaine, and was a major part of my healing process through PTSD, which I'm still working through. Myself like many that join the service, had some pretty severe PTSD prior to enlistment, and joined to escape broken households/abuse in the family. The military exacerbated that alright, and I won't get going on my opinions with the war machine and system here, trying to keep it brief.

        I have mastered its and it's now haha, but still have issues with many others.
        I have quite a few posts now too, and have a hard time finding certain ones. No big deal, I'm sure you've had an array of wild dreams as I have.

        Nice chatting @jerrytsuseer
        Thank you for your time sir.
