My $0.02

Addiction is difficult, but recovery is even harder. Some of us have been around this block before and some of us are just now considering the idea - whoever you are, whatever you're going through, whatever you've done, said, wherever you've been - there is help and there is hope. In My $0.02, I explore the different facets of recovery from the addict's perspective as well as offering advice, wisdom, and guidance from experience - via my own drug addiction, I've accrued nearly 2 decades' worth of hands-on education. I have been the addict and I have been the helpless friend beside the addict. I have battled my own addictions and I have watched as my friends and family have battled theirs. For years, I lived as if nothing else mattered. Nothing but drugs. The moment when I realized how horribly wrong I was, that everything mattered, was the moment I decided I needed to quit. In some endeavors I have been successful, and some I yet pursue - in a sense, we are doing this together.

There's never been a better time than right now. Let's do this!
