A look in to my past as an addict. I am now clean, and I have also become a mother. Being a mom has put a whole new perspective on looking at my past. I am hoping to just get down these stories and thoughts...a little bit everyday. I don't care if anyone reads this or not. Instead, I view it as a format for my thoughts. A reason to write a little everyday, until my masterpiece is finished.
Just finished reading your post at Recovery Now and much of what you wrote really spoke to me. Becoming an addict was a life long result of my utter love of getting high and being stoned plain and simple. There had been nothing nefarious that drove me to this. I had what many would consider an idyllic childhood and even those normally treacherous teen years passed me by with mostly happy memories!
For many in the addiction field, this particular characteristic is extremely difficult for them to understand and quite often hard for them to be able to treat properly. Of course this is not true of all and if lucky enough, an addict will be able to find one who is able to properly relate and council.
I'll check your thoughts on recovery out. I'm still alive, just not getting around the blog world like I used to.
ReplyDeleteHope all is well with you and the little one.
Love,
