I want that building and I want to buy it and turn it into a rehab center called the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;&lt;st1:placetype&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;&lt;st1:placetype&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 14pt;&quot;&gt;Castle&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/st1:placetype&gt;&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:placetype&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 14pt;&quot;&gt; of &lt;/span&gt;&lt;st1:placename&gt;&lt;st1:placename&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 14pt;&quot;&gt;Hope&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/st1:placename&gt;&lt;/st1:placename&gt;&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 14pt;&quot;&gt; of Hope for Lost Souls. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; I know a lot of addicts that are lost souls. Many are intelligent and could have bright futures if they could kick the habit. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; I am someone these people can come to for help. Not for money but as a friend who cares. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; I was a drunk and now I am a reformed drunk. I am not a recovering alcoholic. I can go into a bar and order a coke. I tended bar (I lived in a bar too.) and was not even be tempted by the bottle. I quit because I wanted too. I have had 2 beers and 2 cold ducks in the last 17+ years and did not have the urge to have more. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; Because of AA and NA philosophy that once a alcoholic or addict always an alcoholic or addict there are a lot of people like me that don&apos;t even try to quit. Why quit if it is a life long worry about one more drink? They are important and they do a lot of good but they are not for everyone. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; I do not have that worry. I had an attitude change. I changed my outlook on life. I get high on life. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; What I do is to try to show the way to that attitude change to those I know. I do promote the rehab but also self help. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; AA and NA are like religions. What I did is not possible to them. When they heard I went to bars they said it is not possible. They remind me of what I was like and why I quit. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; I was tending bar and a customer asked, &amp;ldquo;How can you tend bar and not go back to drinking?&amp;rdquo; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &amp;ldquo;That&amp;rsquo;s easy.&amp;rdquo; I answered, &amp;ldquo;I take one look at you and the others when the get drunk and I know I do not want to drink again.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  </description>
