What A Difference A Year Can Make
On March 6th, 2022, I have coffee and conversation with my best friend of 6 years at a local Starbucks. We were there from approximately 6:45 to 8:45 AM. We hugged each other and went our separate ways. Little did I know this would be the beginning of a nightmare. I went back to college about 1 ½ hours away, thinking everything was okay in our friendship. I was excited to return about five weeks later so that I could spend time with my best friend during Easter.

Confessions of a Crack Head
Confessions. That's such a funny concept. Even in a confession is there truth? For most people it is really hard to admit to anything fully. Then again I've known more than my fair share of narcissists so my faith in humanity isn't strong. I have a whole list of confessions I'd like to release. Real confession. Soul cleansing, scar opening, honesty. So, here starts what I hope to be a series of works. I hope you all can enjoy my transparency. I'm hiding behind the keyboard for sure. There are just so many things I've not said. This is the perfect opportunity.

Finding My Voice: A Journey of Overcoming Social Anxiety
Growing up, I was always an awkward kid. I had a hard time making friends, and I often felt like I didn't fit in. It wasn't until I got to college that I started to come out of my shell a bit and make some real connections with people. But even then, I still had my moments of cringe.

As soon as the first sip of whiskey hit his lips, Jake knew he was hooked. He had always been someone who enjoyed the occasional drink, but lately, it had become a habit. Every night, he would come home from work and reach for the bottle, pouring himself a glass before settling down to watch TV.

Addictive personality anonymous
When u have an addiction and I mean, this can apply to anyone with an addiction. From something as small as a technology addiction, to a full blown opiate addiction. I found the addiction that makes my world fall to pieces are TOXIC relationships. I want to speak of this because, it really doesn’t get talked about too often. I would also consider myself to be a functional addict, I have been all my life. This addiction has been the one to make me hit rock bottom. Not once but twice. I mean it knocks me on my ass homeless, jobless, and hopeless. I kept on running back to it like a fien. It’s like the addiction causes me to make these delusions of the dynamics of the relationship. A delusion that this man loves me, that he treats me well sometimes, and that he really truly loves me. Like all the lies he gave me, I gave myself the same lies to myself. I let it drive me absolutely insane and the longer I stayed in it. The harder it was to control my thoughts, and life was so worthless without it. Sobriety has always been a miserable place for me. I had a realization in rehab that I was actually getting clean from the last relationship. Meth was just a plus. Meth just allowed me to keep the delusion going as long as it did, it was the energy source to allow me to continue to lie to myself. So without the energy source I have found the delusion continues, in my sobriety, but has no strength when I remember the pain, the heartache, the chaos. Anger, hate, and frustration musters about in my mind which helps rational thinking lurk on in. I knew better than to keep allowing this to continue. I keep telling this myself. I was addicted to the drama I made up in my mind. The drama, I craved. Rational thought comes in and explains to myself. I craved it because of the lack of attention, the rejection, the times he ignored me like I didn’t matter, when he so fucking mattered to me, the times when he lied to me, the times when my feelings were never valid, and when he laid his fucking hands on me. I know how sad this sounds, but people don’t realize how crazy you can drive someone when you don’t have any intention to grow with someone, but the other has every intention to grow with you and then some. The lies to yourself continue to eat away at your soul. Just like it does in any addiction. This is why you hear of crazy relationships when drugs involved. They are the perfect recipe for disaster. I have learned in order to overcome this is to refrain from him completely and meth. This combination of chaos has caused me to lose the one thing I hold very dear to me and this was my mind. The wisdom I have obtained the experiences the memories. It has quieted a lot of the day, but some days worse than others. The delusion continues. Cruising through my mind when things get quiet, when I have nothing to do with my hands. I know now the saying “idol hands are the devils playground”. These delusions were simply evil entities that saw, and used my heartache and pain I was enduring as a door that was wide open to sneak on into my mind. It was also an opportunity for another human being to obtain power over me. I will always remember never to allow myself to give my power again. If I can look for the silver lining in this situation I would have to say well, my sobriety. A new perspective, a new view on life something I oh, so craved I just did not know it.

I was 18 when I decided to quit pornography; I’m now 43 sitting alone in my room having destroyed my life.
I'm 43 and have lived my whole life behind a pc . Early on it seemed the best way I could find peace and contentment was by gambling, games or watching porn. It wasn't just fun and interesting but it additionally took the edge off and made all that pain and soreness that I felt daily go away. It became like the element I should count on in a world I never truly felt fit in - the screen.
