I did have my nurse try to convince me that I wasn't dependent and I was just a plain old addict making excuses. She didn't mock recovery chances for my supposed addiction, though.

I wasn't a drug addict, but I was on morphine and fentanyl for seven years due to chronic pain that I got a physical dependency on. I didn't go to a rehab facility, but to the psyche ward's detox facility and yes, they can be total cunts there. The only person that didn't treat me like a criminal for the few days I…

It is my favorite television…

I'm a lesbian, so maybe I'm not the best judge either. But he's just plain weird looking to me, like his jaw is permanently recessed and his eyes are in this constantly glazed, deer in headlights state. I can admit when I guy is handsome because hey, attractive is attractive, but I don't see what makes girls swoon.…

In the midst of the haze, I felt like I hit the jackpot and the gods were smiling on me. Eating…
