I finally care more about being a proud recovering addict than I do what others think! A fellow NA member I met on line with many years clean introduced me a site called Needy or Greedy. The way it works is you make a wish and the ones with the most votes wins. My wish is to get scrap booking supplies to make albums for while I’m in treatment. I’m being completely honest about being a recovering addict who’s going into treatment. It is really freeing. Please check out my wish, blog and profile. It’s free to vote…hint…hint…hint.

Here's my story behind my wish:

In Pictures

Pictures are my links to special moments, feelings and people I want to ever remain close to. For me photos are like memories suspended in time. I like capturing and preserving loving moments to fall back on in times of desperation. When I feel hopeless I hold a photo of one of my raccoons or my partner and life seems a little brighter. When I can look at my profile picture it’s like Peaches is still alive in my arms enjoying our 4th of July pick-nick. The photo I used for this wish is very special to me as well. I was 14 years old when it was taken. In my arms I’m holding Miny a quadriplegic raccoon who taught me what unconditional love really was. Loving her and allowing her to love me was my only reason to stay alive. A couple weeks after that Polaroid was taken Miny peacefully passed away in my arms. Sometimes when I’m really scared and all alone I hold my boy friends picture and I can feel his love surrounding me. I can almost feel him holding me tight. I’ve made a difficult decision to go into an inpatient treatment facility in March five hours away from my home. I know this is the right choice for me and my recovery. My partner and I will miss each other very much. He has been my very biggest support before I got into recovery and throughout the entire process. My raccoons and boy friend are the loves of my life. I want to stay close in my heart despite being so far geographically. Please vote for me to get Creative Memories scrap books and supplies to keep those I love close by. Although I have listed this as greedy one day when I feel alone these albums may very well save my life.
