The definition of stigma is 'a distinguishing mark of social disgrace' Yet the epidemic continues to rise with death, incarceration, and hopelessness. I am determined to lift the fallen, restore the broken, let go of what you cannot change, and I am so much more than my circumstances.The most liberating and empowering day of my life was the day I freed myself from my own destructive nonsense. I had to leave almost every aspect of my life behind including many people. Spiritual family-not biological was a key part of this experience.We can no longer tolerate or accept secrecy, shame and silence. Recovery is possible. I celebrated 30 years this past January and obtained my Masters (MA) degree in study of human behavior. I have worked in many rehab's and hospitals around the country. We can and do recover. Just for today-I will be vigilant doing everything necessary to guard my recovery. Have a look and see all that it took to get here and what continues to work-and what does not work. Your part of the problem or part of the solution. We will no longer accept or tolerate secrecy and shame. .показать меньше
