addiction
The realities of addition; the truth about living under, above and beyond the influence of drugs and alcohol.
My Addiction Is Just Fixation
February 20th 2017, I woke up to reality and realised I had hidden in the sand so deep that I had let myself become a victim of addiction. I knew I had to face the world; I was a mum of five children and what I had done is lead us down a path that would result in homelessness, and there was no way I could avoid it.

The Sweet Rose Bowl
When I was 17 I was like any other angry, rebellious teenager. I did whatever I wanted, whenever I wanted. I took advantage of my mothers' guilt and illness. Obviously thinking back now I regret a lot of the decisions I've made; this being one of them.

Alcohol (Alcoholism)
Alcohol (Alcoholism) Can you stop? Is it worth it? From personal experience it isn’t. Drinking isn’t worth your life or risking the lives of others. It ruins people’s attitude, personality and has them doing stupid things. I’m just as guilty as everyone else. However, I was able to overcome it. Cut it out of my life which has been the best thing. Things have been changing since I've decided to make a change for a better future for myself and children as should we all. Being aware of what alcohol can do is important. It isn’t something that we should mess around with. Our bodies are precious just like everyday is precious. That is why I wanted to share what alcohol (alcoholism) is. Things to look for, what to do and how you can overcome it too. After the past few years of dealing with someone who suffers from it, I know that this can benefit others. Your life is only a struggle when you allow it to be, but you can be better than letting a silly drink control your life.

A Drug Addict Saved My Life
Addiction, hmph. Something my donor and I had in common. I guess the main difference was the source. It’s acceptable when you’re hospitalized and monitored. Even then, things can get out of hand the more your body builds up a tolerance to pain meds. I was even counseled on my habit, although it developed under the care of multiple medical professionals during my hospitalization. That’s like the corner boy pulling you to the side to discuss your drug problem.

Third Time's Just Another Time
I am now on the 4th draft of a letter to my brother who recently went to rehab in Florida. I figured now is as good of time as any to procrastinate just a little longer. It’s been 29 days, 688 hours, and 13 minutes since I’ve had a drink myself. But who’s counting? Me. I’m counting.
