I am a nerd of all things Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, Game of Thrones, and Disney. My goal for this blog is to have an outlet for my experiences, thoughts, feelings, and insight into addiction, mental health, shame, and sometimes just to question whether leggings are real pants or not. I am not an expert in the things I have listed above but I have had a lot of experiences living through them and hope that someone else will not have to feel like they are alone in what they are going through. The A Word is a safe place for you to stay awhile, relax, and feel free to leave me a comment or question if you are feeling isolated or want me to discuss another topic.
