The Check-in
-I’m being patient with the onboarding process of my job, they told me this process would be about three weeks and they did not lie. My faith is in the Universe because it always works out one way or another, and I release the outcome to the universe.

-The one thing I’m looking forward to this summer is the National Cannabis Festival, they hold it here in DC at the RFK stadium every year. Every year I plan to go but I never make it. It’s usually in April, on the 4/20 weekend, but this year it’s on 7/18 and 7/19 and I will be there!.

Let’s get to tonight's conversation - Active Addiction
Disclaimer - This is going to be a hard one for me, I may get emotional and I may have to skip over some of my points, but we’ll get through it together
Let’s Define Active Addiction
What is Active Addiction
Active addiction is when someone is actively using substances, regardless of the negative consequences. They may be unable to stop on their own and continue to use despite losing their job, home, and family. They may also continue to use despite health problems caused by their addiction. Symptoms of an active addiction include:
Neglecting responsibilities at home, work, or school
Using substances in risky situations
Losing interest in hobbies and activities
Withdrawing from friends and family
Isolating from others
Lying and being secretive
Experiencing financial problems
