I have been carrying a secret for far too long and it’s time to come clean.

I need to confess that in my past, I struggled with addiction. I never wanted to admit it to anyone, not even to myself. It started off as just experimenting with drugs, but it quickly spiraled out of control. I was constantly seeking my next high, willing to do anything to numb the pain I was feeling.

I hurt the people closest to me, lied to cover up my addiction, and lost sight of who I truly was. It wasn’t until I hit rock bottom that I finally sought help. Through rehab and therapy, I was able to address my demons and start to rebuild my life.

I know that my past doesn’t define me, but it’s something that I can’t continue to hide. I am now committed to living a life of honesty and transparency, and part of that means owning up to the mistakes I’ve made. I am truly sorry for any pain or disappointment I may have caused, and I hope that by sharing this truth, I can begin to heal and move forward.
