With Friends Like This …

April 25, 2019

Crystal, you are my friend? That’s bullshit.

What do they say — with friends like you, who needs enemies.

Crystal Meth, I’m ending this friendship. Instead I am choosing my mother, my father, my sister, my friends and my partner.

Crystal Meth, to you I say good-bye and reacquaint myself with my family, including my neighbours, my extended family.

Crystal Meth, I’m tired of wasting time with you, and instead I will return to my hobbies of writing, music, gardening, cooking and photography.

Crystal Meth, I’m replacing you with my new thirteen best friends…the twelve steps of my program and my Higher Power. I’m reconnecting with my other friends who have stood by me and always been there even when I abandoned them.

Goodbye Crystal Meth; hello recovery.

Oh, and Crystal Meth? Fuck you!

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.
