Smells like Chocolate
It occurred to me the other day as I pulled back the sheets on my bed that I never smell like chocolate. I had a flashback to the days of my youth when I smelled like a distillery the day after drinking. There were moments in hot yoga rooms in those days when I was worried the person in triangle pose next to me might get pulled over for a DUI on her way home. She would be unable to explain to the police officer why she was blowing above a .08 on a Sunday afternoon, now late to make Sunday dinner for her two happy children and her adoring husband, what a bummer. Guilty by proximity of the yoga mat.

What is alcoholism? We know or pretend to know. Are we inclined to know? We are more inclined to the second assumption because many people know alcoholism as a sin, which makes the drinker laugh. He gets drunk, falls, rolls: an opportunity to laugh at others. But there is also a reason to cry.
I Survived Addiction (Part 1)
Addiction... mental illness... the two go hand and hand. I have struggled with mental illness my entire life. Anxiety, PTSD, depression, I've struggled with them all. It has never been easy but for most of my life, I've managed to maintain a happy life in spite of my mental illnesses. That was until something happened in my life and I completely lost sight of who I was. Life hits hard sometimes... and on this particular occasion, it hit me harder than it ever had before. In the immediate aftermath, I was under the false impression that I was at my lowest point. I didn't think my situation could possibly get any worse. The problem is that I was mistaken and as time went on, my "lowest point" continued to get even lower. Every time I thought I was at rock bottom, I quickly discovered that there was another level below me. Throughout all of this, my anxiety, PTSD, and depression became too much for me to bear. I didn't know who I was anymore, all I knew is that I was broken and I wasn't sure what I could possibly do to fix things. So I gave up... and made the worst decision I had ever made in my entire life. The decision to begin using drugs to suppress the intensity of my mental illness.

Addiction is a biological disease, and it's not uncommon to find a family member or friend with a history of substance abuse. It's also possible to have epigenetics, a gene-expression mechanism that controls gene expression. Genetics are a strong risk factor for developing addiction, but environmental factors are also a big part of the equation.
