As a recipient of SNAP and social security disability (for a psychiatric issue) I watch with growing fear the festering anger among every day Republicans towards what they see as the culture of takers in this country.

Yesterday's air of victory felt good. Today that air is being tainted by the stench of hatred and resentment. It doesn't feel good any more.

I'm a recovering addict named Joe. I have been clean since January 25th, 1995 using the twelve steps, first through Alcoholics Anonymous, and then beginning in 2004 Narcotics Anonymous.

Today, with heavy heart, I took a key back from an addict who I was sponsoring, who was living with me as he worked to straighten his life out, after finding out he stole money from me. I have decided to document my journey in recovery through a personal journal.

These are my experiences, no one else's, and I will work to preserve the anonymity of my fellow recovering addicts through the application of my programs' twelve traditions. If you have a problem with drugs, be they legal or otherwise, help is available today through a broad spectrum of programs, your life can get better. Although I speak from a perspective of twelve step programs, there are a smorgasbord of treatment options. Find one that works for you and change your life!
