DJ,
Interesting topic. Thanks for starting this thread.
When did I know that the drugs were a problem? Well, one thing that clued me in was that I had short-term memory loss for school holidays, laundry, where my keys were, the last sentence I'd written, etc., but I could always remember where I'd left my pipe and my pills.
I didn't know I was an addict until I found this board. I had been clean for two months and was working on an article about the long-term effects of childhood sexual abuse. I was going to use small-cutting or eating disorders as an example of self-destructive behaviors, but then thought I'd surf the web for some info on drug addiction, as another possible illustrative example. I found this board first thing (it does begin with "A" after all, lol) and recognized myself in every single one of the posts. I can't tell you what a relief it was -- everything suddenly made sense.
Love,
Gina
