I’m from the beautiful Maldive islands. This blog is mainly a chronicle of events with a bit of truth in it and obviously due to the nature of the content, I intend to stick to anonymity.
I wish to use this blog not to promote drugs or drug-related insane behaviors; but to inform the consequences of getting into it and the hard battle we have to fight continuously to get out of it! May all the people who are suffering from all kinds of addiction find recovery.
If you have any queries or simply wanna know more about me drop me a mail: recoverymaldives@gmail.com

Dear recoverymaldives I wish you the best of look in your quest for recovery. I have been sober for 56 months now. Please feel free to reach out to me if you need any help or support! I know how difficult the road towards recovery can be.
Thank you. I would definitely reach out; surely, the road to recovery is a tough one!
Nice one brother.. personally as a Maldivian, you indeed got a good point.. and you have said it all.. ….. totally explains every single thing man.. if this blog is suppose to give a glimpse of hope to someone else.. #confirmed .. indeed helpful !! road to recovery sounds real good.. as u have mentioned bout helping people .. i gotta say… I think i need help :l
I’ll try my best to help you in anyway possible; recovery is a tough journey and it takes a lot of patience. The pest part of writing is I’m helping myself through out the process too – learning more about my ways of thinking, etc. Thanks for dropping by 🙂
Hi, thanks for reading my blog, doubt I would have found your blog without your vote on mine because i wasn’t look for posts about drug addiction but am really glad I got the chance to read your posts and look forward to more.
Thanks for dropping by.
I appreciate you sharing to help others maybe stay away from addiction. It’s a long road. I wish you well.
Thank you so much. I hope it helps others and benefits me as well 🙂
I know exactly where you are coming from. Been clean now since 2004, but prior to that I was in a 36 year nightmare with heroin. Started in 1969. Before that it was weed, speed, hash, and a lot of acid, and into the scene with all the rock bands back then at the Eastown Theater, Grande Ballroom, Olympia, The Hideout, etc. Bob Seger played at our high school, and T-Rex at our prom. I met Alice Cooper in a Detroit basement. I was searching for my drug of choice but didn’t know it then. When heroin came along, it was a wrap. It also cost me 21 years of my life in prison via the revolving door syndrome. In and out, in and out, in and out. Sheer madness. But it’s over now and on June 22nd of this year will be my 10 year anniversary of being clean and turning my life around. I wrote a book about some of my experiences, but have not published it yet. I write about substance abuse on Examiner.com as you probably know, and I got into photography. Love it. Stay strong, and keep writing.
In the struggle…Peace…
Thank you so much for sharing; it means a lot to me. Without you I’ll be left alone uninspired; people like you I’m totally indebted who have selflessly supported and given strength, courage and hope throughout my journey. I wish you well, would love to read your book. Looking forward for the blogging journey 🙂
Love your purpose! I’ve been clean and sober for 30 years. God is good. 🙂 May you be blessed with an abundant harvest for your willingness to wade into others’ messes and give a hand out. May that hand ever be strong in the power of Jesus, like Peter at the Gate Beautiful in Acts 3.
Thanks for following Lessons by Heart!

Praising Jesus, my Healer, Redeemer and Friend!
Thank you, although we may have different perceptions of God, you are a true example that recovery is possible; and there are many roads we can take towards it. 🙂
Thank you for following my adventure. I admire your journey and your want to assist others going through a similar journey. Definitely count on my positive energy for your wellness.
Thank you so much, Blessings to you 🙂
Thank you for your comment and follow. Hanging in there, one day at a time. Best to you!
You’re welcome. I found your blog quite interesting and I hope it gives a boost in my recovery. At your age, to get into recovery must be a tough choice you had to make; but then, as they, it’s never too late. May you find your journey filled with serenity, happiness and blessings. 🙂
Thanks for stopping by and following my blog! Blogging has definitely helped me so far on this journey. I hope you’re finding the same is true.
Thank you for dropping by here as well. Surely, it has played a positive role in my recovery too. 🙂
Lucky you from Maldive islands… I wanted to thank you for the follow! Please be aware that my blog is a bilingual one. So you may get links to some poems in English as well as to some in Italian… Pictures, on the other hand, have no language barriers 😉
Keep up the good work, congrats on your goals.

Hi – Recovery in the Maldives,
Thanks for following my blog. Mine is still new. I notice that you have a nice following of people. I have to ask, aren’t the Maldives in the Indian Ocean? Is heroin available there?
I am in Massachusetts, USA, and every drug imaginable is available here.
I have not maintained complete abstinence from drugs for more than a year. Right now I am doing the Suboxone trip and going back to college at age 61. It’s a blast and I love it that I am now getting the education I only dreamed of before.
Let me know a few more particulars about you. You can answer on my site or by email.
Blessings to you, too!
Michael J. Gayda
Hello there!
Yeah, Maldives is in the Indian ocean, though it’s an independent sovereign country and is not related to India at all.
See, I have never heard of a place — except, very few — where you cannot score. The answer is simple; since I don’t promote any drugs or any of those things I must ask you, will I be writing about recovery if it’s nonexistent here? It is flooded with it, and there is a huge national crisis of addiction and other related issues that come with the territory.
Subox, that’s one legal stuff if you know what I mean and good luck with coming off it!
I’m so happy to hear you are getting back to studies.
Thank you so much for dropping by and even I’m quite new here in the blogsphere, just a month old.
Blessings and well wishes to you!
P.S. Maldives is also a natural paradise with white sandy beaches and crystal clear blue waters.

Thank you so much for the ‘likes’ on my posts. I’ve been reading your page and your journey is a very interesting one. I really wish you well with your journey and recovery, and here is a quote that I’ve always found helpful when dealing with certain life events:
‘Always turn and face towards the light, because when you do you will find others standing there beside you’.
You’re welcome and thank you so much for following mine as well.
I’ll take that suggestion to heart, and blessings and best wishes on journey as well 🙂
Best wishes to your journey. I’m sure many will benefit from your knowledge .

Bett late than never… Thanks for following my blog and all the likes… And don’t read anything into my not following yours… I still use the RSS feeds and Firefox live bookmarks for reading all blogs, so technically I don’t follow anybody’s blog… But I am paying ettention.

Thanks for following! I’m excited to get to know you through your posts 🙂 I could google this, but where are the Maldive Islands?
It is below the Indian Ocean — not part of India, though — and it is made of around a thousand islands. It’s a world famous tourist destination, renowned for pure white sandy beaches and crystal clear blue waters.
Thanks a lot for dropping by. 🙂
Sounds wonderful! Thanks for answering 🙂 I figured I’d learn more and remember better if I asked you instead of just googling.
Great! That seems like a good strategy. 🙂

Hello and thank you for following my blog. I’ve reciprocated and look forward to reading about how you stay sober one day at a time. I’m so happy and excited you have sobered up. The best decision you will make all day is not to drink or use! In doing so you are making an amazing difference in this world. The world truly is a better place for your sobriety. Thank you from all of us!
You’re welcome!
I’m working on new posts, so definitely I’ll try to write more on that aspect of my recovery.
Thank you so much for your kindness and taking the time to drop by. Blessings to you. 🙂
Thank you for sharing such a personal journey. xoxo
You’re welcome.

Very nice to E-meet you and I look forward to reading about your journey. I’ve done a great deal of research into Recovery Based Practice as it applies to Mental Health as well as Addiction. This is due to my husband who works in the field and is doing his Masters – since he works full time and the work load for a Masters can be quite large I act as his Research Assistant to cut down the time for him. I’ll be interested in reading your perspective as the main focus of the research has been directed to mental health and only linked to addiction. Be E-seeing you.
That’s so lovely of you to assist your husband. I’d be honored to contribute for the thesis. I hope you find my blog helpful or if you need any assistance or anything please feel free to leave a line.
Thanks a lot for dropping by and I look forward to the blogging journey. 🙂

Bob
Thanks 🙂
You take care too and many blessings to you.
Thank you for following. I look forward to reading more and can understand your choice for anonymity. I hear the Maldives are just beautiful.
It’s a pleasure and thanks for reciprocating. Indeed it is beautiful and best wishes on your blogging journey. 🙂
Keep doing your amazing work! Recovery is so difficult but certainly possible. It is people like you who make the future brighter.
Thanks for the lovely words. Blessings to you 🙂
You are BOTH strong and brave for making and posting on this blog. As the saying goes, “One day at a time.” Yesterday no longer matters. Tomorrow is an illusion. Today is what counts. In the words of author and meditator Sam Harris: IT IS ALWAYS NOW. Stay clean my friend. You are an inspiration to all, and I wish more people were as open and honest as you. Keep it up!
Thanks for stopping by my blog, I appreciate that you decided to follow me.
I wish you safe journeys and continued recovery. I do think people need to know the consequences of their choices (even if that may not always be possible). I wonder why so many people now seem to feel the NEED for something outside themselves to make life better? I understand it’s always been something people do to escape reality every once in a while and I really don’t see anything wrong with that, but it seems lately it’s become such a huge thing, all around the world. Makes me ask, what has changed???
Great to connect with you on the your journey in recovery. Bless you!
