I Have An Addiction

I am addicted to opiates, and I have been a member of a methadone maintenance clinic for four years now. During this time I focused on resolving my emotional unhappiness, and I believe that was the main foothold that addiction had within my own mind. Now that I believe the problem has been addressed and is on it's way to becoming solved; I am eager to not only succeed - but also assist others who are on the same journey.
Addiction is a vicious disease, and it's made worse by the cultural assumptions and thoughts made by the general public.

I am very dedicated to this project, and I encourage anyone interested to review some of my earlier stories. I strongly believe I am uniquely prepared to create a valuable, informative, and entertaining documentary. The only existing one is "methadonia" and it's not accurate - from my perspective. I believe it was made by someone who didn't truly understand the problem, or put much thought into the science, or the therapy involved.

I applaud your courage! I don't know much about that particular addiction, but as someone in recovery, I do believe that most of us have a "hole" inside of us we are trying to fill. Keep up the good work!
