Denial (this is a link you know)

Ok,Simon here, Sinamin is a friend and is going to be more involved developing this blog for awhile. I'm sure anyone who stops by here has some helpful knowledge to share, please take a moment and participate, the smallest bit of knowledge could be a lifesaver for someone doing battle with addiction, depression, anxiety disorders and mental illnesses of a million different varieties. I'm hoping this blog or whatever it becomes will be a useful tool for those of us living the subculture of addiction. I'm trying to share all I know, which is a lot, but definitely not totally comprehensive. I notice that I'm getting a fairly steady increase in visitors but no one has yet to offer any useful information. If one were to look at the statistics on drug and alcohol addiction you would think a great many people out there have experience that some of the rest of us could use to improve our lives and I'm adamantly convinced of it. The question is how do you get people to care about others suffering parallel experiences. Most of us addicts exist under the same dark and gloomy cloud and the only way to clear the air is by helping each other.
I'm not sure if I'm suffering from delusions or not but lately I'm beginning to think that addiction isn't really the problem, addiction is just a symptom of other issues which plague us. Issues which we feel hopelessly condemned to endure because of social pressures to keep them hidden. I'm getting real tired of all this "social norms" bullshit and the stigmatising of what are referred to as "outliers" in mathematical statistics. I say fuck'em, if the majority of the population wants to march to the beat of the same drummer then they will always live a life of pretentiousness which over time will wear them down to brainless followers and some will just be so miserable they will prematurely die of some self induced disease. I do believe that our minds have the power to initiate self destruction in the guise of some incurable terminal illness. This is the future of the people who get caught up in the mass hysteria of social pressure to behave in unnatural ways to avoid condemnation from their neighbors. Very sad, and I have no doubts when it comes to this pathetic nature of our society.
