Re-born

My name is Roberta, I am a 22 year old drug addict. I have moved out of Wisconsin and into a new state with my boyfriend so that I can live sober. For all people who are trying to become sober, I cannot emphasize enough the importance of leaving the "using" environment. My drug of choice was heroin/opiates. I know that all drug addicts struggle on a daily basis, but with heroin and opiates it is not just a mental addiction that needs to be broken, but an extremely painful and long physical addiction. That is why the user must continue using on a daily basis, in some cases an hourly basis...Thank God I have moved on and am now willing to completely change my life so that I may live soberly. My blog is not just for outside readers but also for myself so that I can see the progress that I have made in the future and so I can vent what I need to vent. READER BEWARE: This blog will not be written lightly, I will be diplaying verbal images of my life from start-present, including some not so happy moments that initially called forward the demon on addiction. You may judge me, laugh at me, and think I am pathetic and in the past I may have cared but this is MY LIFE and I will start living it like it is.
