Hi! I have loved writing since I was old enough to write but have never shared nor pushed forward with it. I have been in and out of the drug and mental illness world for twenty years while obtaining a BS in Hotel and Rest. Admin from a widely known University with it being seventh in the nation in this specific field. I began to finish when my daughter was three months old. We have lived in six different states and been to every side of the country throughout most of them in between the past six years. I have battled and succeeded in about eighty jobs and have been clean for past seven years *( for the most part-California legal marijuana), but throughout everything, I am finishing my last three credits in grad school online also obtaining a MA in Organizational Mgmt, specializing in Human Resources. My daughter is now eleven and she is so beautiful, healthy, humble, and brilliant. I could not be more grateful for her understanding and patience with my terrible choices over the years. At times, the only thing that makes me accept that - is that she exhibits humility and such an eccentric personality that she has had to learn how to tone it down here in the Midwest again... I thought for years I only wrote bc of the speed (drugs specifically Meth and too many pills and hallucinogenics), but the past few years I have encountered people struggling with the bondage of addiction that it is and has compelled me more and more to introduce, educate, to quit sugar coating this widely known epidemic to this world anymore. There should be voices that are out there and begin to be more voices to come together to shed light at the end of a dark tunnel that we all know leads to death in whichever way they end up going out. This is affecting our children that are to come up and rise with the economy? How are we to protect them if they are not educated on one of the worlds most deceptive drug/drugs/ out there? I believe people who have been there or those close to this disastrous outrageous dilemma and have overcome and/or watched success of those who have walked away from the lifestyle bc that is what this really is and should not be ashamed anymore! Speak out against this crap and provide hope for families and your own generational line....
