Confessions

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.

A letter..They are human. They were Kids.. http://www.commonsnews.org/site/site05/story.php?articleno=11929&page=1#.VlHI9l88LCT Great article, an excerpt: They are human. They were kids. Before my friends were junkies, they were your kid's best friend, left wing on the soccer team, homecoming queen. By the time most people can admit they have a problem, they are already in handcuffs. There needs to be a change in the way people look at and treat addicts. MOLLY OSOWSKI, age 20, originally wrote this piece as a letter to the DA and the judge for her ex-boyfriend’s case. Originally published in The Commons issue #299 (Wednesday, April 1, 2015). This story appeared on page D1. If you'd like to share this story on your website, please feel free to do so with credit to The Commons and a link back to commonsnews.org. I HAVE BEEN LUCKY to be able to keep a safe enough distance from heroin, but many people I grew up with were not so fortunate. Most of my friends got hooked on dope when they were 15, 16, and 17 years old. Posted: 11/22/2015 6:26 AM Received 1 Thanks for this Post
