Reflections from a Recovering Alcoholic and Nicotine Addict

This week I'd like to introduce you to Maggie, a remarkable woman who has successfully defeated two addictions -- one to alcohol and one to nicotine.  At 22 years sober and one year smoke-free, she shares her thoughts on her recovery from both addictions in this poignant account.

Congratulations, Maggie. Addiction is a tough teacher, but the lessons that can be learned are invaluable. You've clearly gained perspective and it has enriched your life in lasting ways.
