I'm an addictions counsellor in Toronto. Just wanted to say something about your post here. But first. I would like to congratulate you on your public journey through recovery, your words are inspiring and insightful. I hope that you are getting just as much out of the writing as those that are reading it. The ads that show up on websites are usually generated by the content of the site through cookies or adbots on your computer. Meaning that if the content talks about a problem, the ad tries to solve it. Talking about vacations? Travelocity ads will come up. Talking about dinner? Restaurant ads will come up. Talking about alcohol? Sleep problems? You see the point. Technology doesn't know context. Hope this gives some insight. Keep up the GREAT work. And thank you for your open honesty. Cory Hi.

Most of these things are automated so you just have to be viligant and filter out those that are not appropriate. I was e-mailed the other day to say that mine had an advertisement for drink mixers!!! LOL- I got it off, but it was embarassing. I like your site and your writing.
