Overcoming Addiction: A Personal Journey

There are reasons for the worst things that happen to us and the worst things we do.

i took a brutal overdose of Lamictal, an anti-seizure med, in 2016 Thanksgiving night in my new trailer park home. I have been in a sick thrall of atonement ever since. I see right now how it was a way out of the worse OD in 2014, a minor overdose with almost fatal consequences. I took about 14 pills, maybe 20, but some of them were tricyclic antidepressants with the potential to louse up my heart. This small overdose set up a trail of events that led to such evil that I have finally just confessed here on the smoking deck in this personal care home a few cities away.

That person became me today. In case anybody needs to know.

No more suicide attempts. No more overdoses. I belong to God now.
