Once in a while when I come and sign into my wordpress (blog) account to see if I have anymore comments, or to write a new entry, I am greeted by a comment that someone I have never seen before, or even someone anonymous, has left me commenting on my “Opiate Addiction” entry.

I love signing on to see those comments. They really do make a difference in my life. It helps a lot to know that there are people out there who are going through the same thing I am, or who have gone through the same thing that I am going through. It truly does make a difference in my day, and helps to ground me as a person, and as an addict.

I wish that I could say I do not feel the temptation to use heroin at all anymore, but I do. However, that is part of the process and a lesson in how to resist temptations that are harmful. They are not only harmful to me, but HURTFUL to those around me.

There are not a whole lot of people who have the courage to come out about their addictions publicly in a blog for the world to see. Or..maybe there are and I have not found them yet. I would love to read some though…

Anyhow..I just wanted to say THANK YOU to anyone who has ever commented me telling me about their addictions and what they have gone through to get clean, or remain clean. It means a lot to me and I appreciate them! ^_^
