Addiction & Health

This section is all about addiction and health. I have struggled with many addictions including but not limited to: food, gambling, drugs, shopping, video games, sex.

If it’s a thing I have probably over-indulged in it.

I have been an IV drug addict for 16 years and struggled with other things in between.
