The universe has good news for the lost, lonely, and heartsick.
The sugars are here, speaking straight into your ears.
I'm Steve almond.
I'm Cheryl strayed.
This is dear sugars.
Oh dear.
So won't you please share some little sweetness with me?
I check my bell vibes every day.
Oh, in the sugar you see my way.
Dear sugars.
My boyfriend and I met at a wedding about six months ago.
Upon meeting, we had this insane connection.
He gets me.
I get him.
Oftentimes we say we're literally the same person.
My boyfriend has struggled with addiction to pain medications off and on for a couple of years.
When he told me I did two things, I accepted his past, and I was very firm about where I stand on the issue.
Given that I have a two year old son who means more to me than any man ever will, my boyfriend promised me that his addiction was behind him.
Two months ago, I began noticing behavioral changes.
