Who am I and what am I doing?

I'm a recovering addict with a little more than 3 years off heroin as of November 2020. I spent much of my teen years polyaddicted and living on my own. In addition to just being my own digital transcription of my poetry and diary entries, I hope to make this website something other addicts can find solace in. I'm always looking for new ways to normalize addiction and make junkies feel more comfortable coming forward with their experiences. However, I've done minimal editing or vetting so I'm not always sharing purely educational content. I don't strive to glamorize addiction or poverty, but unfortunately that's a function of the disease. Eventually, I'll add a comment section in hopes that people will be able to share their stories and relate over this wack illness. I expect this site will be a WIP for a long time, as I'm always writing new clean works and the "using" works take a lot of emotional energy to transcribe. In the future, I'll also be uploading scans of journal entries, drawings, and paintings on an "IRL" subsection. So stick around, shoot me an email, and accept the things you cannot change!
