About Me
I'm a 25 year old woman that is trying to live a happier life. Right now I'm working on getting out of the depressive cycle I'm in. I'm honestly trying each and everyday to come out of it though. It's been pretty tough but I'm doing it! I work in the hospitality industry and hope to one day have an inn of my own. I love my family and friends. I may only have a small group of both but it's the quality of the relationships, not the quantity. I am a bit obsessed with the Red Sox (have been since age 10) and enjoy live music and good times.

Open Families & Friends Of Addicts
My older brother was an addict of both pain meds and heroin. On December 26, 2007 he succumbed to his addiction and passed away of a heroin overdose. My younger cousin is an addict. She went through rehab and has been clean for 3 years. I'm incredibly proud of her but still worry each day about her. My older cousin has just recently been diagnosed as an addict of prescription meds. I'm worried she's not taking getting clean seriously.
