Cold Turkey &#8211; by Karen Stuebing

Cold Turkey
by Karen Stuebing 
Drug addiction is a huge problem in Southern West Virginia and other parts of Appalachia. In my little neighborhood alone, I can take you for a short drive and point to every third house: &#8220;That guy&#8217;s a dealer,&#8221; &#8220;He&#8217;s strung out,&#8221; &#8220;She uses.&#8221; This [...]]]></description>

How do I become one of that small percentage that makes it? How do I overcome depression and cravings? How do I avoid situations where there are drugs when half the people I know are on them? I can walk 20 feet and be at another addict’s door.

This is my journey and I'm putting it out there for the world to see. I want to be one of the winners.
