Thank you for giving such an open introduction to your story. It's great to have you here! I've been through the party thing, maybe not quite so much on the drug side of things, but self-destructive and all. It gets better, and writing about your experiences is such a great way to process them. That alone changed my life.

Anyway, glad to have you, and a hint from one newbie to another: Try to use the #minnowsunite. This will get your work in front of other minnows dedicated to helping the community make it to the next level, as well as some more established folks who are generously working to help us along.

Best of luck!
