Dr Benway

I am a recovering heroin Addict. I have been on methadone for a few years now. I also wasted a little more than I would of liked of my younger years in jail and on the street.

I write to help me deal with a lot of the guilt and pain I have caused myself, and have caused those who have loved me.

I really don't claim to write anything worth reading, I just know it helps me deal with who I am, where I have been, and where I am going. If you get anything from it, all the better.

I will warn you now, don't expect the greatest grammar, or spelling, or structure... with that in mind, any help or advice in that department would be greatly appreciated.


Thank you,
just thank you.

Cheers
Doc Benway

We are in this together, my friends, the rich, the poor, the red, white, black, brown and yellow. We share responsibility for Mother Earth and those who live and breathe upon her. Never forget that."

My singular, wonderful wave.
My shelter from a long forgotten storm.
With us as my destination,
I will always find my way back,
to you,
my elegant lighthouse
to you,
my bright red angel.
