Hi, everyone. I'm a meth addict who's been sober for 2 years and 4 months. I've just finished a book - it's my memoir about my addiction and recovery. I'm in the process of trying to find an agent now. I have a blog called The Next 24 where I discuss addiction and recovery. I talk a lot about day to day recovery, how to handle cravings, using dreams etc.

I speak to the women's group at the rehab I went to and would like to expand my speaking engagements. I invite you to check out my blog and would welcome suggestions about things I could do differently, things I could add... I'm also interested in possibly interviewing people for future posts. Addicts, parents, loved one's...

Thank you for taking a minute to read this.

 Hi Kim! I think it's important that people like you write down their experiences and help other people that fight with their addiction to get rid of the drugs. Many addicts are afraid of the painful recovery and that's a thing that prevents them from getting clean. Would be cool if you let us know when your book is out so that we can pick it up at our local book store

(I think I messed up when I tried to respond...)

 Thank you for saying hello! It's nice to know I'm not alone out here in cyber-space babbling to myself :)

I'm trying to find an agent right now, and hope to have the book published.

Have you visited my blog? I'm thinking of posting some excerpts from my book there. Let me know what you think.

 Welcome to the forum Kim

Thank you so much for making me feel welcome here!

I plan on taking a look at your blog.  I've gone through rehab 3 years ago, was sober for 2 years.  Got caught up in that downward spiral again, afraid the monster has sunk it's claws in me again.  I know that it's possible to remain sober, just need that re-enforced.  Thanks for your post.

I'm so sorry to hear you're going through hell right now. Thank you for reaching out to me. That, in itself, is HUGE! Hang in there. I hope you find some comfort/help at my blog. If there's anything I can write specifically about that might help you, just let me know.

Oh yeah...please keep in touch:)

First of all CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU!!!!!!!!! I am extremley proud of you and the major accomplishment you acheived.  As a Mom who has had 3 sons do FED TIME, for meth, I understand all too well the effects of what it can do, not just to the user but every one who cares about them. I have been without my complete family for at least 10 years now. I am happy to say the last one locked up is due out next month. the other 2 are doing great and totally drug free. They won't ever forget where they came from and where they don't want to go back to. So if you reach out and save just 1 person, then you have succeeded.Again I wish you all the success in the world.

Just remember there are people out there who will help and not be judgemental.

Greetings my friend!

Great minds DO think alike!

I'm glad you found your way here - to reach out in this attempt to pay back / forward - to those still suffering - wondering, willing - just wanted to shout my "howdy" and let you know you've an enamoured mate hangin out HERE too!
