welcome

Its my hope to author a site that will help those of us that suffer from the disease of addiction take a long hard look at how we've lived and why. It is also my intention to try and help any one that has suffered from the actions of an active addict to better understand why it is we tend to act out and hurt the ones we love. I invite you inside the mind of this addict to try and expose some of the innate and learned behaviors that ultimately dictate the many different patterns in ones life. The behaviors I speak of are not just limited to people with the disease of addiction,but tend to manifest themselves in all man kind in one form or another. They stem from our instincts,emotions and desires and ultimately become the catalysts of all our short comings.Some of us turn to drugs others sex may be we live beyond our means spending money like its going out of style. Theres gambling,working,overeating not eating enough any one could add to the list. What is most likely though and was certainly true for me is that on any given day a combination of these behaviors would be the norm.I know the answer to all of these problems is spiritual. Its just that recognizing the behaviors and finding a balance can be difficult.I know that anything I've done more then once and liked I'm addicted to. Thats o.k. I can accept that, just as long as it doesn't make my life unmanageable.

Hey, I don't even know what a URL is?! Ha. I'm so new to the computer, it's scary. I've enjoyed your insights and to be honest, I'm only just getting the hang of being sober. I've been trying for 1 year and 2 months and 2 days and out of that year, 336 days I was sober (that means not doing any alochol or crack) and 29 days I drank but nothing else. The last time I drank was Nov. 3rd, go figure. It wasn't the fear of Bush, I don't think. It was just the fear of what would happen if I didn't drink. Then I'd have to deal with my life than and now. Oh well, keep on writing and I'll keep on reading. Thanks.
