Raw & Uncut The Truth about Addiction
I am just going to jump in! I hate addiction but I recognize it, I know that it's a nasty mental health disease that is wiping out our current generation. The disease that has kids growing up without one or both parents, kids witnessing things they should never have to see, children torn from their homes, and parent burying their children and raking in their grandchildren. Addiction was something I felt so lucky to have escaped, or at least for awhile I thought I did. I was the one who didn't care to drink or go to house parties, but I loved smoking my weed and being home. Even at 17 and 18. As I got a little older I experimented with acid once, ecstasy a few times and when it was my clubing years I got into cocaine. All of which I could take or leave it and it didn't control my life. Year's go by and I'm diagnosed with some medical conditions that land me on and off pain meds for 10 years, I formed a dependence. Fortunately I escaped using heroin and anything more then a 10 mg percocet. It's been 5 years since my last one.

There are so many places to start and in so many ways have now shaped me int the person I am today and I am becoming. I am here to share with you my story, my experience, and my missions. So let’s get started....
