If you had to write a book, what would it be?

A memoir of my days in college and beyond would have enough crazy stories, tragedy and twists to fit into a trilogy at least but I have too much respect for the dead, don’t want any of the living coming after me for exposing our crimes and definitely don’t want to give my parents heart attacks since they are nearing 70. They know about everything I’ve ever put into my body (which is just about everything) but I spared them all the gritty details that would make my mother cry and my father disown me.

Instead I love fantasy novels and have been toying with an idea of there being magic in an alternate world but in order to open their minds and give them the ability to manipulate it a dissociative and hallucinogenic drug must be taken. The exchange for power is knowing that you will become hopelessly addicted (physically and mentally) at some point if you keep using magic and all the dissociation would destroy your psyche. You would lose all sense of values, morals, relationships and humanity. Sounds kinda familiar huh?

Oh I’m new btw. I’ve been using the Sober Time app for over a year but just now realized it had a forum. I am 15 days away from my 1 year sobriety date. DOC heroin with a minor in alcoholism. Now happily sober and rebuilding my body, mind and soul. Nice to meet everyone.

I would so write a memoir…

Sex, drugs and sobriety ha!
Though i would very much share the absolute truth of my life, id want it to carry the message that we can recover…

From being in the swinging/bdsm scene from 18 - 26…
To the biggest addiction i struggled with…the lies and false promises to myself.
The rock bottom and then the im lucky to be alive chapters.

All with an added twist that all i was doing was trying to avoid being different.

And the last page.
Paint your own rainbow road

People suggest I write a book pretty frequently. Im entertaining the idea, but I already have alot of projects on my plates. If i did do it, it wont be anytime soon.

I dont know where to start. Would I do Tales of a drunken fisheman? Tales of a fisherman in recovery surrounded by the seas of addiction and alcoholism? A survivor of child abuse guide to fishing? How bout The Tug is the Drug of Choice!
