Why this blog?

I am a medical doctor, a father, and a recovering drug addict.  In July, 2002 my world and my place within it changed irrevocably.  The Texas Medical Board suspended my medical license because I was deemed a danger to society.  Over the last five and a half years I have hit rock bottom and am now trying to fink my way out of this hole that I have dug.  I hope through posting these thoughts and feelings I will be able to help others avoid the pitfalls I encountered and provide a helping hand up to those on the way down.
