My case manager wants to read my writing. Am I allowed to say no? I prefer thinking that you, dear readers, do not actually exist. It’s not that I’m against psychiatry it’s just that I’d rather have a soul.

Addiction is often misunderstood.
There's a reason why I continue to go to therapy, counseling, and practice self-care with over a decade of sobriety, that's because quitting drugs wasn't the hardest part, getting over the reasons why I used them was! People often assume "get off the drugs and your life will get better".
Well, there's a lot more to it than that ....
