An honest account of what it's like to be an addict.

I learned a lot from reading this story. Things I had no idea about as far as drug addiction goes. What I found hard to read was how she could not understand why her sister kept leaving her behind. You don't know about the personalities/roles that siblings take on in a dysfunctional family? Maybe she was the scapegoat that was blamed for all the family problems. The author had a good relationship with her mother, but the sister she kept trying to rekindle a relationship with didn't. Think about how your sister must feel, and quit bragging about how well you're doing.
