Well hello world, how have you been? Things here are going ok i guess. Although still no contact with family after my rehab stint? Powerless over people placees and things i guess? Well no guessing i know that to be true.
Had an ok day tho, did my first online meeting with peeps from across the pond -why does that saying go like that? Atlantic ocean is fecking big pond - any way, yeah first online meeting? Went well really, this stuff still blows me away tho, a whole world with people that think, obsese and use drugs the way i did - wow thats weird i typed that in past sense? Although i dare say that if i were to pick up today i would take off the way i did in active addiction, still miss the ability to have a quick pint and spliff to take the edge off the world. But i have firm grasp of my step one and the insanity of a quick beer - probably due to the fact that it'd always be followed by another, then another etc. . . .
I am going to apply to college to take a course in Health and Social Care to help me in the future endeavor of helping others stuck in the web of active addiction and let them know that there is a way out from the insanity.
Kinda been thinking of the stigma of addiction tho really, only 'cos i did a few one day courses around drugs, referal processes and domestic violence to get an insite on how diferent agencies in London get together to assess and help people, also because i am doing some volunteer at a drop-in, which focuses on the homeless, bottom rung of the addiction ladder.
It's weird how a bad choice here or there can label you in the eyes of the regular public in this country - unless your a celeberty? Well some of them.
 So thats my thoughts for the day and in general. Going to cook a curry now so i'll sign off till next time.
 Take it eeezzeee and be lucky. xx
