Thank you, Belinda, for this uplifting and thoughtful story. It brought back memories. Believe me, I know exactly what you're going through. I just want you to know that I respect every single word in this story. I want it
This was incredibly moving to read, Belle. The honesty and clarity in this letter hold so much weight, especially in how it names both the pain and the longing underneath addiction. Writing like this creates space for understanding rather than judgment, and that matters more than most people realize. Thank you for sharing something so raw and human.
Jessica, thank you so much for your thoughtful words. It means a lot to hear that the honesty resonates and creates space—that’s exactly why I write. Addiction carries so much pain and longing, and if sharing stories helps even one person feel less alone or judged, it’s worth every vulnerable moment.
Tonya, Of course I am open to it- send me your article and poem. That is what this blog is for. Real conversation. Sharing our true stories. Demolishing ALL the bullshit that keeps victims feeling guilty and trapped into secrecy. Let's make a REAL dialogue going and get those COMMUNICATIONS opened, even if it gets nasty or uncomfortable.We NEED to hear from as many people as possible if we want to continue to break down that wall and annihilate stigma. Let's do it. Thank you for respecting me enough to dive right in there with me.
Hey Belle, it's me, Rick The Truth Seeker. Did you read my narrative yet?
I have now.
What did you think about it

Please remember that I'm here for you, and my DM is always available.
Yolanda, Thank you!

Oof... “That addict is just what they wear to survive” hit me right in the ribs.
Still here counts, even on the days it’s only by a thread.
