Letter on Addiction Awareness Vigil: ‘I Will Be Sharing My Story’
|
Dear Editor,
New Canaan’s 4th Annual Community Addiction Awareness Vigil is back this year, on Wednesday, September 2 at 7:30pm. This vigil has extra meaning for me because not only is addiction a strong part of my story, but I grew up in New Canaan. I graduated from high school thinking I knew how my life would and should turn out. The pressures of “being the best,” “putting on a happy face,” and “keeping my problems to myself” began to catch up with me and I slowly started to spiral into a severe addiction to alcohol. I knew nothing of recovery, or addiction for that matter.
