Sometimes, when I am writing, I do not like the story that I have written. I try to ignore it. I want the story to go away. It is not part of me, and yet it is.
I wrote this story out of my experience, both personally and with other parents.
Because I did not want this story, I got stuck. I could not write and I did not write for a long time. So there is the proof: “what you resist, persists”. I think Carl Jung said that. Here is what I say. Addiction hurts, over and over and over again and always.

And even through all of that, this is always Hope, Always & Always.
