Over The Rainbow

It’s So Easy

I’m Ready

*The title of this post was taken from the Muddy Waters song of the same name* Two years into my ten year addiction to drugs I was already in rehab. It was something of a surreal experience. I was on a co-ed floor of the hospital where the men were mostly recovering alcoholics and the […]
