The Adventures of Acidia in Sobeland

The Adventures of Acidia in Sobeland. This is the title of a book I have been writing for years now. Actually, I already wrote it. It was my first attempt. I'm afraid it isn't really good, as most first tries are, but it's mine. It's the story of a girl who meets her own rabbit (a la Alice in Wonderland) that leads her down a rabbit hole to South Beach's underground drug scene in the late 90's early 2000's. Like Alice, Acidia is not content with her reality and wishes she could go to a place that was silly and all fun. And like Alice, the queen of that world, the Queen of Ice, crystal meth, almost destroys her.
What's interesting about that story is how Acidia came to want to run so much into something that she had been trying to run from her whole life, drugs and their devastating effects. This blog will be my online drafting of the copy I will eventually publish. I hope you enjoy it. I hope you learn from it.
"I have become enamoured of my own disintegration. I watch pleased as the threads of my being unravel. My mind, body and soul slowing dissolving into the depths of madness. I am in love with my own destruction, because I hate what I have become." - Acidia.

May my tip-toeing on the edge of madness help you from your own destruction.

Live, laugh and love,
