In my route of life, I have encountered much. I have seen myself falling apart, shattered, destroyed and then I have also seen myself collecting my pieces together and trying to adjoin then with the adhesive of time. It took me years to identify the need to write about the same in my way. At times, some instances have forced me to write a two-liner or a four-liner piece and at times, while asking multiple questions myself, I have dived into my thoughts, created characters and instructed my characters to live the life that I am living at present and wrote my pieces of monologues. My brain baby they are, they are my sufferings quoted and written in the form of monologues and quotes and the only purpose of the book is to be with those who are afraid to share their sufferings so that they can relate more and understand that they are not alone.

I was in love with heroin and the dysfunctional relationship I had with it. Being present in my everyday life was very difficult. Using drugs for the first time at the age of 12, I was just trying to fit in and have fun. Then there was heroin. The crimes I would commit and the hurt I would cause the people I loved never crossed my mind in pursuit of that drug. It didn't matter. I was in love the first time it was in my body. But when I finally stayed in recovery, magic truly happened. The path and journey of my life were changed completely. I am a woman in long-term recovery from drug addiction. What that means for me is that I have been drug and alcohol-free since May 27, 2007. Learning about my soul and truly who I am has been difficult, scary, beautiful, and amazing. Being able to wake up every day and walk in my purpose is priceless. I want the same for you.
