Self-pity is the core – the foundation – of all addiction. 2009-01-26T15:43:12-05:00 http://www.solitary-refinement.com/index.php/site/truths_you_will_learn_through_reading_solitary_refinement_21_25/ http://www.solitary-refinement.com/index.php/site/truths_you_will_learn_through_reading_solitary_refinement_21_25/#When:15:42:21Z Next week we will post the second edition of ‘31 Truths’! 2009-01-26T15:42:21-05:00 http://www.solitary-refinement.com/index.php/site/truths_you_will_learn_through_reading_solitary_refinement_16_20/ http://www.solitary-refinement.com/index.php/site/truths_you_will_learn_through_reading_solitary_refinement_16_20/#When:15:40:50Z 2009-01-26T15:40:50-05:00 http://www.solitary-refinement.com/index.php/site/truths_you_will_learn_through_reading_solitary_refinement_11_15/ http://www.solitary-refinement.com/index.php/site/truths_you_will_learn_through_reading_solitary_refinement_11_15/#When:15:39:51Z Make sure to visit our BLOG section.
