I am new here. It's coming on 2 years for me being clean. I overdosed with a lit torch in my hand and lit myself on fire. My 2 daughters 11 and 13 found me on fire and saved my life. I am burned belly up severely disfigured now. People point and laugh i even had someone take a Pic of me while we were stopped at a red light. I struggle to smile thru this but i do because my kids deserve that i just with the self hatred and guilt would lessen a little. My kids have to walk with me they say it doesn't bother them but just look at what i have done!
