I a an addict. Plain and simple. I am in my mid 40's and have been an active addict the whole time, except for the last 6 months. Since I was 11 years old. I say I am "cross-addicted" because I am. One thing after another. Just looking to find out how others do it. I am on shaky ground, as I am getting my own place, work in a psych/detox ward so I see it every day. I at times feel like I may hit the "wall" and need to find other coping skills to divert my attention to using. A little, no a lot nervous!
