hmmm, I dont think I have an allergy or a disease. I don't think I need treatment. I use to do a bunch of meth cause it was fun, then it wasn't so I quit. I use to smoke (not sure why), then it was gross so I quit. I used to smoke pot and take other peoples scrips, but I get drug tested at work now. I use to like to drink, and then I learned what can happen if you get too drunk, and now I'm not going to risk going there again.
I know for a fact that growing up, I learned a certain set of coping skills. Numbing was a big one. I am now interested in learning other ways of living, and specifically sober, spiritually connected ways. I am looking forward to Alera's Smart meetings, as we are in the same town. I also enjoy the meetings at my alano club. I meet lots of interesting people there, and learn much that can be applied to my new chosen way of life.
