    • About Me

      Well I guess this is one of the few places you don’t have to sugar coat stuff, its hard for me. I am a people person. You ask me how I am and I will always so good. My God that is such a lie. I am trebly depressed, suffer from extreme anxiety, I have ADHD which drives everything else and last but not least I am an addict. Was clean for over 8 months after a sever addiction problem with pills that lasted over 2 years, I thank God everyday that I am alive and not in jail. I was weak I did something I promised my self I would ever do again. That was pop a pill, and I did. My girl friend has broken up with my, my friends have turned their back and my family thinks I am just weak, no I am an addict. I have no one to turn to, I am all alone. I know that life is a blessing, but why can it something I would like to just end. I am so tired. Just so tired.

      I was hooked on Norco (7 daily), Soma (4 daily) and valium (2 daily), and pot (20 years). My pain now is managed with Tramdol, I am lucky it helps and no side effects. I used Methadone to get off pills, I think it double the pain of withdraws. Detoxed on my own. I saw hell. Seizures, hallucinations, insomnia, aches, just to say a few. I am here to help anyone that wants to quit or stay sober. Together we all can do it!
