Rehab Is For Quitters
Today is my recovery anniversary. Twelve Years. After many, many, and yes, many more years of substance abuse, I finally sought help for my addiction and thankfully have remained drug-free since June 16, 1991. I lost my cherished home I'd bought on my own at age 24. But I didn't stop using. I went from main custody to weekend custody of my son to my ex-husband in a nasty court battle. I still didn't stop using. I saw many friends die and my heart ached for them, but I didn't stop using. I wouldn't be ready for another 8 years. For no specific reason other than I was sick and tired of being sick and tired, I sought help for my drug addiction. And I have been drug-free every single day since June 16, 1991. Fucking A. I did it for myself in my own time and that's important to know about addiction.

There's now a CyberBeg site. A sampling of the begging on the site: "money needed to get deploma" (their spelling) "My last shot at LOVE & my son may have ruined it!!" "need bOOb REDUCTION -- or Chiropractor - help it hurts ;-( "
Shee-it. I suppose I should congratulate the San Antonio Spurs on their NBA Finals win over the New Jersey Nets last night. Tim Duncan just can't be out maneuvered by anyone. Even though the Nets didn't win, and it looked more like a comedy of errors a lot of the time, I still enjoyed watching the series and am curious to see if Jason Kidd will stay with the Nets now that he's a free agent.
