IMPORTANT: Please be sure you include a way for me to contact you, because if you contact me via a comment signed in with a profile that does not include an email, IM, Facebook, Twitter or other social media address, there will be no address for me to reach you.
Your name will go on the story, so you'll be able to show your family, friends even potential employers that you're a published writer. I will even become your reference!
Get Links back to Your Site
With your article, you are allowed to insert as many live, html hotlinks as you wish (within reason) to enhance the content of your story. These links may be to your own blog, website or social media site, as long as you do not abuse the privilege by stuffing the article with keywords and links to your sites. The number of links depends on the context and is up to my discretion.
You will also be allowed to ad an "About the Author" section, the design and content of which I will leave up to you. Again, you may include links to your own blog, website or social media site, as long as you do not abuse the privilege by stuffing the article with keywords and links to your sites. Again, the number of links depends on the context and is up to my discretion.

Fran Mann, I would love to publish your article, however I have no way of getting in touch with you. You need to leave some other way to contact you other than your Blogger Profile, if the profile doesn't include any kind of email, Facebook or Twitter address. If you don't want my readers to know this way of contactig you, then I suggest you email me at tomretterbush@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteThanks tom, i finally got your blog.
ReplyDeleteI like to tell the story of my addiction to stimulants and how it relates to my struggles with anxiety and depression. I've already written some about both addiction and recovery on my blog. You can contact me via hardlifeproject@gmail.com.

I've lived most of my life around addicts. My brother and his pals, ten years older than me, liked to get high and molest me when I was eight/nine years old. My father, a sex addict, joined in when I was thirteen. My mother was an alcoholic who called me an "incestuous slut" when she was drunk. My sister and brother are still using addicts, my mother was clean for the last fifteen years. Cousins, aunts, uncles, grandparents: all addicts. Because of some quirk in my makeup, I never turned to drugs or alcohol but I more than made up for it in the dumb decisions I had as a broken adult. I moved my family a thousand miles away from my relatives but my teenage son still turned to drugs. He had a heart attack when he was fourteen and almost died. I dragged him, kicking and screaming, into rehab at Daytop Village. I was not going to lose him to our genetic and environmental nightmare. One night, while he was shrieking at me, I yelled, "You will NEVER make me stop loving you so stop trying so GO**MNED HARD!!!" He's been clean for almost nine years now. I applaud each and every single one of the addicts on this site for trying to kick the monster of addiction. You'll never have anything tougher to face and no greater achievement. Hang in there, be brave even while your guts are ice water and your nerves are on fire. You can do it. I believe in you all. Good luck. R
