This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

While rehabilitation is a very personal journey, it is from my perspective that addiction is a life long thing. There is no "clear" to get to.
I am the same addict I was when in active addiction, just with a better grasp on who I am and what my strengths and weaknesses are. People who are growing through recovery just have more tools to succeed in situations that may have tripped us up in the past back when we were "unarmed".
