Hi My Name Is Lisa and I Am an Addict

I believe that I was born with the disease of addiction, it was just waiting for the right time to shine. The summer going into grade nine proved to be that moment. I loved how alcohol and drugs made me not care or think about how sad I was. Over the years I have been and still am addicted to many things. I've struggled with this disease, I have lost and I have conquered. Just when I think I'm in control along comes a crisis or a new relationship that tests my boundaries and my will. Until we've worked on the part of the brain that causes these distorted thoughts we are going to continue repeating the cycle of insanity.
