This is the place to get it all out! Tell us what's on your mind. What's the worst thing you've done for your addiction? What's the worst thing that's happened to you because of your addiction? How have you been affected because of someone else's addiction? How has your life as an addict affected the ones you love? Reading and writing these confessions help us realize the impact that the addictions have over all of us. When posting your confession, you can choose to remain anonymous or let others see your profile name as to bring about discussions.
Talking about it
Yes it is true that I don't talk to my AD about her addiction anymore, there is nothing more to say. She however is telling the world her story, the newspaper, the radio, she and I feel if you dont talk about it, you cant solve the problems. We have teamed up and joined NCADD, National Council of Alcohol and Drug Dependence. They work on educating DRs about overprescribing, educating, changing laws, providing narcan more widely, minimizing wait times for beds, treatment instead of incarceration and so much more. Addiction is a medical epidemic and if we don't make some noise, the problems we ll face will not change. If you see a screening of the "anonymous People" in your area, I highly recommend it and read the book "guts" by Kristen Johnston, star who turned activist after her addiction almost killed her.
