What do you care about?
Hi Chad,
First off, you have balls that clang. I really admire the courage and honesty in the way you're putting yourself out there.
I've watched friends go from smart, successful people to homeless and unable to complete a sentence as a result of their meth addictions. It's scary stuff and although seemingly everyone has a "i don't know what happened to him" story, folks keep on partying. I have younger cousins who live in the rural South who have tried it, which freaks me out. I feel like it's everywhere these days....
One of my friends has been in and out of rehab for a long time. He naturally goes through periods of estrangement from all of us, feeling too ashamed to contact us but not really having any other support group beyond people at meetings. We thought setting up a blog for him to use would be a way for him to get his thoughts out and for all his friends to read them in a non-direct sort of way.
He had recently had something of a breakthrough in therapy about how sex triggered his cravings during periods of sobriety and he'd begin to use again. We thought, why not make a whole site where people can share things like that and maybe help others along their paths, too. So, we started www.soberingthought.com in an effort to create that sort of space.
I was wondering if you'd link us under your resources page. We added a link to yours. If you have any suggestions for other sites worthy of linking to, please pass them on. We're trying to build something good for everyone.
Best of luck to you and thanks for doing what you do. I'm glad you're doing well :)
