The past week I have been adrift in volunteer work, a new freelance job, house cleaning and one other thing. What was that? Oh, I remember. Celebrating my eighth year being clean from a painful and life altering drug addiction that nearly took away everything I cherish and love. I'll be honest. I wanted to find be around at least one person who "got it" and would realize what I was going through on that day. It was a day that I desperately needed to be understood and on familiar ground with another person.
