Addiction

Send us a text

If you listened to the first two parts you have heard me speak about marriage and infidelity. Today’s episode is about addiction. If you take the three initials, M for marriage, I for infidelity and A for addiction. You are literally spelling out MIA missing in action. That was me.

Thankfully, today, I am completely present. So let’s roll. My story isn’t unique. In fact, it’s actually pretty common, so common that I fear telling the story about addiction will be so boring, you won’t even listen. What is interesting however, is the image of what an addict looks like in our minds. Maybe my mind. or even in reality. Homeless, sad and hungry, poor. I don’t know. I don’t know how they got there. But I do know how I got where I am. I struggle sometimes to talk about addiction. I’ve seen the eye-rolls, the judgment. I’ve even been judged by addicts for sharing my story. And even by someone that is so far removed from addiction, they actually said to me, You sound like you’re glorifying it, ugh glorifying. But it isn’t their story to tell. It’s my story. So here we go.
