My Big Shameful Secret

I could have written this myself! Marihuana and Bi-Polar Disorder
Luckily, my moments between access to medicine were/are *not* filled with time in an institution. Seriously, it feels like luck alone keeping me out of the hospital and off lithium at this very moment in time. That and my incredible fear and distrust of Western Medicine.
Of course, MY first step in recovery is overcoming my fear and distrust, so I may medicate effectively, consistently and legally.
