Stuff I've Been Feeling Lately Polaroid Project

For those who also follow my ramblings on Instagram and Twitter, for the last 2+ weeks I have uploaded a Polaroid that offers you a personal, behind the scenes look at what inspired that particular "track" of Stuff I've Been Feeling Lately. I have migrated some of that over to here now. I have 18 already posted elsewhere, so forgive the backlog.

Once I catch up, once a day for the foreseeable future I will publish a blog post for each track of Stuff I've Been Feeling Lately. The day after I post the 50th Polaroid, the NEW version of SIBFL will be released!

I encourage you to provide feedback and your own thoughts on each post! :)

Love,

Alicia

NEW BOOK ON DRUG ADDICTION

This week I released a collection of essays entitled, "Heroin is the Worst Thing to Ever Happen to Me." A true passion project, I sincerely hope it finds its way into the hands of those who need it the most, those directly affected by addiction, whether they are the user or a family member.

This book will empower you to fight the stigma, statistics, and heartache attached to addiction.

The book is divided into two parts. In the first half of the book, addiction's effect on the family unit is explored. The second half the book is dedicated to those in recovery who are now trying to empower those in the struggle.

There is a duality to this book - as it doubles as both a cathartic work AND resource. The book provides statistics, footnotes, and recommended further reading.

I added a preview of the book to GoodReads! It is the introduction of the book :)
