"I was a vicious, malicious, frail tweeker with a BADDDDD attitude. I had so many problems that I didn't want to admit to, see, or -- least of all -- talk about. With time I began to understand how to recognize and accept my past and present in a healthy safe manner. I know that being able to talk about my past and see how it connects to my life now is one of the most important tools I have gained."
