Intro

My mother is a former drug addict and alcoholic, she just spent 5 years in a state prison and now she is out.  She is on the road to recovery, she has been clean 30 days, but it isn't just her that is on a journey and it isn't just her that was affected by her addictions, prison time, and her recovery.

Being the daughter of a addict isn't easy and it isn't always pretty.  Our time together was rocky and rough, but now things are suppose to be different; however, that doesn't make the road smooth.

I have always been a writer and one to release my emotions through text and I figure this situation shouldn't be any different.  As a child it was my job to hide my mother's addiction.  As an adult, I have a independence, a freedom, and no one can take that from me.
