An old boyfriend years and years ago was destroying his life with alcohol and drugs, and during one of his stints in detox was taking that drug, that's why I remember it.

We are like men who have lost their legs; they never grow new ones. Neither does there appear to be any kind of treatment which will make alcoholics of our kind like other men. We have tried every imaginable remedy. In some instances there has been brief recovery, followed always by a still worse relapse.
