The bottom line is that I am an addict and I believe that my addiction to this drug is wrapped up in a great deal of grief, self-loathing, homophobia developed over a lifetime of being a fundamentalist. Having been addicted to methamphetamine for 2 & 1/2 years now I know the toil that this substance can take on your physical health, your love for life and your dreams. This website chronicles the adventures of a 37-year-old man who is just now beginning to realize that — I do not have to please anyone but myself — I am my own worst critic – We do what we do until we know what to do better.

Rhea,
Thank you so much for the compliment and comments. I think I really needed that today because I have been in “control” mode because I start to think that I am doing it on my own–after all, that’s what I’ve been doing for the past 2 years of heavy meth use.
I too will be praying for you. Tell me, is there something specific that I can meditate on for you? For some reason I feel compelled to ask.
I look forward to corresponding should you have the time.
John
I’ve read your blog, and I commend you for your tremendous journey to recovery. It shows remarkable courage, motivation, and determination. Your writing speaks to your integrity. However dark the last two and a half years have been, part of you has been fighting to survive and win your life back. With the steps you’re making now, that side of you has made a huge move toward taking and keeping the lead in your race. You’re strong enough to defeat this and claim the life you want for yourself.
I’m so glad it sounds like you got into the halfway house you wanted. An ongoing environment that promotes sobriety is essential (as you know). I’ll keep you in my prayers, and I wish you all the best on your continued road to sobriety. Thanks for creating this blog.
Best of luck,
Rhea
P.S. Thanks for leaving a note at my blog and letting me know where I could find you here.
