Well done on your sobriety! It takes a brave person to face that monster and a strong one to beat it down. So again, well done. And I absolutely agree with you. Drugs/meds mask the real issues. Being completely drug free and then getting counseling is the best method of helping a drug user -- or helping anyone for that matter. People take pills to feel better, but the issues are still there, regardless of their mental state while under the influence of a medication. Thanks for visiting my blog.

My last day of active addiction was November 27 2008. I strongly encourage getting clean from all substances before trying to deal with new psychological/ mental issues. We never know how much mental anguish is caused solely through "using" itself. It is not easy to start facing the mess we made nor to deal with overwhelming thoughts and emotions. I believe that issues can have solutions and sometimes medications are only band-aides. Counseling has been extremely helpful to me in my recovery and when broken down there are few problems u can't find a way to handle, sometimes merely by changing your thinking.
