Affliction in the Past Tense
" ...because that was supposed to be the narrative of illness. It was a hurdle you jumped over or a battle you won. Illness is a story told in the past tense."

I Am an Addiction Survivor, but I Am Not an Addict
I Am an Addiction Survivor, but I Am Not an Addict Addiction is a disease. You hear this phrase all of the time. I have no qualms about this phrase, of course, it’s a disease. It ransacks your body, takes what was once yours, and turns it into something barely recognizable to you or your family. Addiction is a painful, impossible, back-breaking kind of disease. But those afflicted with this disease are not the only ones who feel like “survivors.”
