		<description><![CDATA[Tony H. from Pacific Palisades was a guest on a TV show awhile back and he related the following story: &#8220;I once asked a Jesuit priest what was the best short prayer he knew. He said, &#8216;fuck it,&#8217; as in &#8216;fuck it; it&#8217;s in God&#8217;s hands.&#8217;&#8221; I wish to God it was that easy to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m mostly okay now.  Most of the time it feels almost like none of it ever happened; like my life in addiction was a bad dream.  Looking back it is almost incomprehensible to me how far I had fallen, how much I suffered, how much effort and pain it took to get through to the [...]]]></description>
