The Mental War on Klonopin
If you are struggling with Klonopin and withdrawals from it, or you know someone that is, this is for you. The first day I met her she was sitting in her kitchen chair holding her knees to her chest and rocking back and forth. I remember her eyes being completely black and she looked scared and lost, like she was literally in Hell.

Raw & Uncut The Truth about Addiction
I am just going to jump in! I hate addiction but I recognize it, I know that it's a nasty mental health disease that is wiping out our current generation. The disease that has kids growing up without one or both parents, kids witnessing things they should never have to see, children torn from their homes, and parent burying their children and raking in their grandchildren. Addiction was something I felt so lucky to have escaped, or at least for awhile I thought I did. I was the one who didn't care to drink or go to house parties, but I loved smoking my weed and being home. Even at 17 and 18. As I got a little older I experimented with acid once, ecstasy a few times and when it was my clubing years I got into cocaine. All of which I could take or leave it and it didn't control my life. Year's go by and I'm diagnosed with some medical conditions that land me on and off pain meds for 10 years, I formed a dependence. Fortunately I escaped using heroin and anything more then a 10 mg percocet. It's been 5 years since my last one.

Some brains "have a harder time saying no to alcohol"
Did you promise yourself that the next time you went out you wouldn't drink, but you ended up 'accidentally' taking several shots of tequila? Did you plan to go for just one drink and end up staying at the bar until dawn? Yeah, who wouldn't?

Gaining Freedom
I have struggled with alcohol throughout my life. From 2014 to 2016 I quit for 2 years and 4 days. I had a slip when I was on vacation, I wasn’t prepared for the circumstances and I chose to drink one night. I secretly drank after that slip, on and off for about 3 months. I then got back on the wagon and made it another 9 months sober, until I decided to quit smoking. When I quit smoking my anxiety was through the roof in the early days. I chose to use alcohol to combat that anxiety, I told myself ‘at least I’m not smoking’. I wasn’t smoking cigarettes but I was unleashing a demon I had thought I put to rest already.
