Hard-hitting and honest write. Alexis ... I was addicted to opiates for over 30 years, and while I am in recovery and haven't abused anything since 2005, the fight will never be over, (and I'm not sure I'll ever be "clean", as I'm on Suboxone therapy). Day-by-day ... it literally saved my life and gave me hope again, and that is everything. Blessings and healing to you, and congrats on your win with this superb Fibonacci! :-) <3

Those are far from the words of a loser. Realization is the biggest step and a good sign that something will be done to solve the problem. Congrats on your win, Alexis.

DAmn, any form of addiction ruins not only the person's life, but also those around him.. This is why I stay away from anything that can become addictive.. Interesting choice for your Fibonacci..
