But I wanted to recommend the book "Methland." I'm reading it right now and it's really opening my eyes to the devastation that drug has caused. I'm from Montana originally and I always thought alcoholism was the main problem there (my family has bad problems with alcoholism) but I'm learning now that meth might be an even bigger problem there than alcoholism.

Something is so wrong, we aren't a healthy society I don't think, it seems like there is just so much addiction to different things and problems and pain. I wish things were better.

Ps I didn't end up with alcoholism but I have codependency and problems from growing up in that family like I tend to want to hide from the world and I overeat and I have big anxiety problems. So I'm not looking at this from the outside, I'm saying we are all hurting too much and something is wrong with how we are living and what we are taught as a society, we are a crazy culture or something.

Pps I'm an ACOA too, have gone to al-anon but not going now. Post at soberrecovery sometimes and like it there. Was just feeling sad reading this book because I feel like the whole world is hurting. But I feel like the whole world should be aware of these problems, because how can we heal as a society if we don't see our problems?
