On Loving an Addict
I wrote a story about addiction that I wanted to submit to you. I’ve lost a young cousin to suicide because he couldn’t get and stay clean, a boyfriend to an overdose after years of trying to get straight. I also have many friends, family and neighbors who walk around each day living a horrible existence because of addiction. Each of them started taking OC’s and some have graduated to Heroin. I tried to paste it in this form and it was too long. Is there a better way I can send it to you? You can check out my blog at http://blog.myspace.com/melanie1921

Tears

i have been visiting your site for over an hour and i have not stopped crying..maybe it is because yes i am a heroin addict. I have stayed away from heroin for six months but turned to other drugs such as oxycontin and methamphetamines which disgust me cus i do not get that same euphoria of the heroin..i am now two wks clean from any drug except for the occassional tylenol pms cus of my insomnia..i am working and i am tryng but it is so hard and the person i love the most is sitting behind bars..yes he too is a heroin addict but promises me that everything will be ok...i want everything to be ok..i want to stop crying

Your ezine give us hope

I was so surprized 2 find this(magazine).I can't sleep as i'm fighting this addiction.You've made me laugh,cry and think about all the years of abuse i've done to myself.You've also kept my mind occupied 4 a few hours and i haven't even finished reading all the info.I just hope u r still up and running so i can send in some poems and thoughts.It's not all bad.I've known a girl whom was bad on heroin & crack 4 10 years,kids ended up with her mum no one thought she'd ever do it.She's got her 2 kids back,got2 grandchildren also living with her and hasn't touched anything 4 3years.Never give up & keep trying.Articles like these also give us alifeline and hope.
