ADDICTION ADMISSION HARD

Regarding Rush Limbaugh's admission to his addiction to pain pills, I must 
say that almost all of us either do or have had an addiction to something. 
It takes a lot of courage and guts to admit to any addiction. When I was in 
third grade in 1965, I was addicted to the marshmallows in Lucky Charms 
cereal. I would eat yellow moons, green clovers and pink hearts 
relentlessly. I ballooned to a whopping 52 pounds. My parents never knew 
that I had a problem. I realized it in third grade, and I went "cold 
turkey" and succeeded. If I could do it, Rush can. It's tough, but let's 
hope for the best for Rush.
