I am a recovering addict. My drug of choice was opiates, but I'd do any drug you put before me. I wasn't picky. If it got me high, I'd do it. I'm not going to go into detail about my drug use, because for one, it's boring, and two, nobody cares. Besides, as a recovering addict, glamorizing or glorifying my drug use isn't healthy. Let's just say it was bad and leave it at that.

I wanted to turn my website into a journal of sorts, documenting my journey in recovery. I'll write about how I'm doing, what I'm thinking, how I'm feeling, and things I need to change about myself. I will bare my soul in these pages. The time for hiding in the shadows is over. No more secrets. I will be brutally honest in my writing. These blog posts might be disturbing for sensitive people, so if you're easily bothered by the darker side of life, I suggest you find a happier place to be.

At first I was rather reticent about exposing myself as an addict. I was terrified of "outing" myself. But my addictions counselor gave me a big dose of reality; she said that I wasn't hiding my addiction from anyone. The people who I thought I was successfully keeping this a secret from probably already knew what was going on. I'm no longer afraid, though. I have nothing to be ashamed of. I am getting help for my problem, and there is no shame in that. Everyone needs help from time to time. No matter how strong you think you are.
