Hi @stellabelle, we don't know each other but we share some experience it seems. I related to everything you wrote about addiction here and it actually feels good. I am glad you came out the other side and wonder if you feel you have gained something from your time as an addict, a deep and quiet strength perhaps. I too was an addict, and still am I guess but these days I find adrenaline is enough. Thank you for sharing this. Upvoted and re-steemed
