About Me
I'm an artist, video editor and filmmaker. I'm also a recovering drug addict and anorexic. I have 2 wonderful kids. I'm learning how to be present and sit still. I'm trying to find my spirituality and higher power within myself and within nature. A huge part of my spirituality is my veganism and I believe in treating all beings with respect and compassion. I truly believe in karma.

Close Prescription Drug Abuse
I was addicted to prescription painkillers & benzos for a long time. When I didn't have pills-- I'd drink alcohol. I would also take pills and drink. I made friends with a doctor who gave anything I wanted. With the help of friends, family, professionals and AA/NA I haven't used in 8 months. I'm currently tapering off of a benzo that was prescribed for me for anxiety and insomnia. I need to be off of any addictive medications and stay away from alcohol to have a clear head and to be at peace.
Treatments
- AA Meetings Working / Worked
- Even though my drugs of choice were narcotic painkillers I have found AA to be a very strong and supportive group. I mostly attend AA meetings and I've met a lot of other addicts who go to AA and not NA. They say a drug is a drug is a drug.
- Cold Turkey Working / Worked
- I had the shakes, pounding headache, nausea, digestive issues, body aches and insomnia. But I got through it all in about a week. I had the support of family, friends, my doc and therapist and my/NA AA friends. The headaches persisted for about 60 days but they weren't terrible after the first week. The insomnia lasted for a bout 2 months also but now I'm sleeping fine.
- Naltrexone Somewhat Helpful
- Trying it for a second time. My doc won't prescribe Suboxone but says Naltrexone works just as well without the chance of addiction.
- Narcotics Anonymous (NA) Working / Worked
- I find that NA/ AA are key to being successful with staying clean. The people I've met are amazing and I have a sponsor who was an opiate addict also- so we relate really well. I'm still trying to figure out my Higher Power, though!
- Physical Exercise Working / Worked
- Going to the gym 4 to 5 days a week helps a lot. Lifting weights, kickboxing, spinning and yoga.
Close Eating Disorders
Type: AnorexiaI have had anorexia and it was made worse by prescription drug abuse. I haven't taken any pills in over 9 months and am still going to the gym.
Treatments
- Psychotherapy Working / Worked
