Where was I?? I was at the end of my rope, literally. This site had helped me. Cause when I was going through all of that, it felt like no one else around me knew how I really felt or was going through. Nobody that I see on a daily basis knew what I was dealing with. This site helped me see I was not alone, and not crazy either, cause I sure felt like it. I really thought I had fallen deeper than anyone else ever could or would and I was just really really bad, worse adddicted than anyone else, but now I know I was not. Addiction does not discriminate, it is a disease. I know that it can be hereditary, or not. Which just blows my mind, cause when I was little I would vow to my mom that I would never smoke, she smoked all the time, and I hated the way it smelled and thought it was ugly and all. I started smoking when I was 19, i quit 10 years ago. I didn't know for a long time that she was hooked on pills, I just thought she took them cause the Dr. told her to, finally when I was way older, I began to put 2 and 2 together. All my teenage years, I just thought she was manic or something, she has never in my life showed me any kind of affection, not just me, but my sister too.

I was under the long arm of the law and fortunately it afforded me the opportunity to gain some clarity in my life and things have been better ever since.
