This is an addiction contest with a difference. I'd like you to write about the up side of being an addict. For instance the things you've learnt and the strong person it's made you that you may not have been otherwise.
I know that I appreciate life so much more because I've been on the dark side so lets focus on the good that's come out of it all for this one.

A great Contest
So mcuh good can come out of something so bad, if the person lets it. If they accept their mistake and learn how to change and grow, then they will find a world full of wonderful opportunities and many good adventures to make them happy content and strong.
A wonderful idea for a contest. I hope you get some great entries. -
