I was never on the streets or smoking crack, but I hung out with partykids and friends that were DJs about 10 years ago. I dabbled into most of that. I quit partying, but I've always been an addict. It'a thinking disease that deals with obsession and compulsion. I know I was born like that. I had to have my toys a certain way, or had to collect all of a collection and that;s all I would think about. When I gained weight in middle school, the obession/compulsions turned into anorexia. The reason why I tried some of those drugs is because it causes you to lose weight.<br /><br />I read that book, and he's at what you call rock bottom. I believe that's the same guy who's father wrote about his preception of his son in a book called Beautiful Boy (or son-can't remember). Both are good representations on what addiction is like. We have to work for things that seem to be easy for others. A beautiful life is a life without drugs. It's a sucessful life. It's one more days without the desire to use. This is a progressive disease without a cure, that ends at jails, institutions, and death, if not treated. <br /><br />You do have a beautiful life :) All those questions that you have, will work itself out in time. You have a husband that will help you with those. I'm glad you guys got some QT together. Sorry for the long post and all my opinions! I'm not ashamed to be a recovering addict. It's who I am. I would be ashamed if I was stealing and lying for drugs. The way to move on and letting go, is to be honest.<br /><br />PS: MessyDirtyHair sent me.Karriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09186655510311203493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22472965.post-83900491565985548272013-03-15T12:33:14.691-06:002013-03-15T12:33:14.691-06:00I'm super jealous!

The American Dream is still alive, but most importantly I think people can see their own beautiful lives reflected in it.elle at wishingoodluckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10448612034135869764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22472965.post-24030984707350742062013-03-15T08:35:56.992-06:002013-03-15T08:35:56.992-06:00What a relaxing couple of days for y'all!

His father's memoir "Beautiful Boy" is great, too. Nic's second book, We All Fall Down -- not so much. I liked it, but it just frustrated me because he kept relapsing so much that he had to write a <i>second</i> book about recovery. Anyway -- sounds like a great time!

It's interesting to see everything from the addict's perspective.

Not like I couldn't handle it, but it overwhelms me with sadness that people out there actually live like that. They are burdened by the weight of addiction and I'm so sad for them.
