Should I start from the beginning? well I was born !!!! LOL as you well tell I will be quite comical through this "Blog" thing y my BFF Maraiya has turned me out on this new addiction. Which brings me to the "Self Destruction" title, I was a major Meth addict for 16 years!!!!!!!!!! minus the 3x being pregnant and nursing (hence the 38 longs). you hear of all of those people with the missing teeth and horrible skin, me on the other hand have most (as you see the word most) of my teeth I do have all of the front ones, and my skin never looked as great as it did when I was using. I guess you could say that I was a lucky tweeker. I have been arrested, sent my oldest with his father and the other 2 with their grandparents. The husband at the time went to prison for manufacturing meth. to make a long story short, I used and used to numb the feeling of the lose that I had in my life and yet I am a responsible women in recovery and do not blame anyone but myself, so to make the long story short I got clean originally in may of 03, why did I get clean? I really didn't like going to jail and having helicopters and police chasing me down in a car that I "Borrowed" thankfully by the grace of God, I didn't have any major charges waiting for me. and decided that I was done.Ok end of (as we call it in recovery) war stories. I have no idea what compelled me to share the fact that I am a recovering Meth addict to the enitre world wide web where thousands of people could just read it on a whim, I guess it's to share with others that We Do Recover

I love, LOVE, *LOVE* you! You are super fabulous!!!! I think you are brilliant and brave and an amazing woman. That said, I like the phrase "lucky tweeker." Hmmm...how could I apply that to myself? Is eating chocolate by the gallon being a tweeker?
FYI - you might want to read Laura's blog and shock her with a comment or two (http://lenasmom.blogspot.com/).
Can I also say that I keep coming here and smiling at your face and I'm just so happy to connect when you're at work!
BTW, Jeremiah is being wonderful!! He's listening. He's playing well. Only fun times at this house!
Maybe sharing your tweeker story with the whole world wide web is the next step in recovery for you. Maybe there is someone out there that you have no idea is reading you blog and gathering conviction and strength to overcome their addiction.
Rock on girl
