I hope it is not like the alcoholic that says he/she will "never go back to the bottle again", though , during a period of sobriety. I wish you good luck. That’s nice to hear Jerry.

First of all I want to make it clear that I am not a spammer and we are a real treatment center and we help people everyday. If you call us at the number you will find out. We have been in existence for over 19 years. My father who started the program is a recovering alcoholic with 20 years clean and he started this program. I have been helping out with their website stuff when I can. It seems I made very poor judgment in hiring some individuals/link builders to write content for me and submit to article directories. It seems that they went too far. I apologize for that and just wanted to let you know that the intention was honorable and we really are all about helping people. I will definitely stay away from this kind of promoting and stick with press releases for getting useful articles out to the public.

The cause is noble enough (sure beats male-impotence issues at least), if it wasn't a scam to cheat people looking to improve their lives it might almost be positive. It is really low to prey upon those who are truly in need of help and who reach out to what they believe to be, in their desperation, a helping hand. If the spam is a honest marketer's attempt to actually help people, then well, they need to re-evaluate their marketing values. If the spam is an attempt to subvert the trust given unto them by the weak in order to profit financially, than I am truly disgusted. Unfortunately, this does appear to be the second of the two, and I am saddened by that. That has to be the strangest spam I have seen.
