Community should rally around doctor

I am 54 years old and through my lifetime, I have met many people with addictions: smoking, eating disorders, alcohol and drugs. Most of these folks at some time in their life have tried to quit. Almost all have been successful, but it was a painful process. I don't think anyone was successful their first try.

I do know what was important to their success was faith, family, friends and their community. I hope the Lampasas community can rally around Dr. Patteson and give him their support and understanding. He has given a lot to this community, and I feel it is time to give back.
