Storytelling Healing AfterMeth
  My dating profile used to read something like this:  "Meth addict in recovery, HIV+ and two kids. If you kept reading, just swipe right."  Back then, I used the justification that my life is an open book and I am "recovering out loud."  But that was not the motivation behind divulging this information up front.  I was ashamed.  I felt like damaged goods and if a man was still interested in...
