I am starting a new chapter in my life and I have a feeling that jounaling will help with the process. I am a drug addict, and have been for many many years. My drug use has caused me to lose everything once when I was sent to prison for five years. When I got out, I decided that I would never use again because I had been given a second chance. Well, that lasted about 3 days and I was sucked right back in to this terrible addiction. It starts out small and I think that I can handle it, then it rages out of control. I am married to a wonderful man who is so supportive of me, but he can only take so much. I have decided to go cold turkey in my house for a week. I need to detox, to get my system free of drugs before my mind gets a chance to free itself. I am hoping that this journaling will help me to get my thoughts down and out of me. We'll see, This is day one.
