Buddhism helps me to have a healthy relationship with my body and spirit.

I think I'm still figuring out how to be a little less selfish.

You know, I like to climb trees and ride bikes and play.

I had not had any drugs for 5 years but then I relapsed again. I have also smoked nearly everything. Every day it was a battle to recover, which I fought for my son and myself.

It was because all we wanted was each other's constant love and attention and for no one else to receive that love and attention, which is a selfish and difficult place to be in a relationship. We were emotionally retarded, and that was the best we could do at the time.

I never really thought in terms of the concept of being a rock star - being around people like that just seemed like normal day-in-the-life stuff to me. Those were just the surroundings I grew up in.

I'm a crier - let me know if you need some tips. I could cry every day, in a good way.
