I can relate to this more than most know. Nicely done and congrats on your sobriety. One day at at time my friend....and some days its every woman for herself and an hour seems like a month. Stay strong. :)

thank you lovely lady for understanding and for the encouragement :)

The many faces of addiction. The temptation of the high. The pain of the low.
I support and applaud your continued sobriety...even just the memories can help create excellent pieces like this one.
Keep fighting the good fight MLady

I'm sure its harder than any one of us can imagine.
You sure kept it real Brenda, the bare truth with honesty.
I hope each day that passes, you will feel triumphant and strong to keep going.
And, most importantly to know that you are loved and supported by your friends, xo

thank you Dave for your continued support and thoughts on this write..

Really fine, honest write Crim.  The anxiety really complicates things, obviously.  Moving from the coke to benzos and back again is something I can relate to, although meth was my "drug of choice."  I'm getting off the Valium that was prescribed to me for many years.  I've got a few other vices I'm probably just going to have to live with.  Congratulations on your sobriety!  

thank you Sir Crow coming from a place of understanding and knowing.. I wish you well on your journey to get off valium writing definitely helps..

with love Crim

I just wanted to mention that I've been off meth for about eleven years.  I'd be a goner if I got into that again.
You're write about the righting!  I just wish I could stay coherent....

congratulations on staying off Meth for eleven years now that's quite an achievement Sir Crow you should be proud :)

Crim, people who haven't experience the dark world of drugs, or being addicted to pain meds., like myself, can't relate to the struggle of the process. We also can't understand all the strength, courage and mental will it takes daily to stay clean.....
but,........ your words, this ink, the picture you've painted, has given readers a glimpse of the emotional journey faced.

....beautifully done, I might add.....   :)

thank you beautiful Rain for your loving sentiments :)

brilliant drug depiction works for me, making me even more reluctant to even try it :-)

I can't pray for you, as you know i don't do that kind of shit, but you are deeply in my thoughts and I am sending you warm hugs and positive thoughts - hoping you stay clean - I am so proud of what you have achieved so far :-)

thank you David for the warm hugs means a lot to me :)

dear brenda:  you went in doll. your description is pith perfect.  the bright-eyed euphoria crashing into consuming anxiety.  you are a brave one.  this pic is cool...kinda reminds me of vanessa williams - don't know if that is a plus or minus for you. ***** ohH on, you change the pic again ...I  meant the brunette pic..wow...k oh and now again okay this white blonde on is good gothic submissive kind of. stop with yourself already.

thank you lovely Shauna thank you for the beautiful comments..

"Sore today or sorry tomorrow."
Lovely lass, you know the brutal reality.
The choice is yours, and I know you have the ability to succeed.

you know,
C.

thank you Vegas for the sound reminder..

i'll be staying clean :)

love Brenda

Good for you for staying clean!

Glad you can still get nice ink though sober. Sometimes writing's the only thing that keeps me straight. My addiction isn't a substance, though.

thank you Harlie writing is the only thing like you that has kept me grounded throughout this process..

with love Crim

Cool.
