Using Dreams

May 8, 2019

Trying to be positive and remind myself of how far I’ve come.

But last night, I had a “using” dream and woke up this morning wanting to use.

These dreams are so vivid.

So real.

So real in fact the injection sites on my arms hurt.

I hate this.

Addiction is awful.

This is what happened before my last relapse and it scares the fuck out of me.

But I am stronger than I was.

I will not relapse.

I will persevere.

I have to.

There is no other option.

I left the hateful rhetoric of Facebook to come here to carry a message of hope and healing I'm in recovery from addiction and rebuilding a life filled with purpose and creativity. Whether I'm playing the piano, baking, gardening, or knitting, I’ve found healing in the simple, meaningful moments. Buzz Kill Diaries is where I share honest reflections on recovery - one day at a time.
