When writing your story, please avoid vulgar language and stories that glamorize addiction. Our goal is to be vulnerable, but also to help and support others. Your story will be sent to a moderator to be approved before it is published on the site. It is recommended to include things like what led you to addiction, what you were using, how it affected you physically, emotionally, financially and otherwise. You can share things like what you lost because of addiction and how your life changed because of it. And, of course we want to know the good stuff too. What helped you through recovery, how your life improved, any tips or thoughts that may help someone else. Thanks for being brave enough to share what is undoubtedly a difficult story.
