Erika,

Thank You for your response and your request made my day.

The Traumatic Brain Injury Fund run by the NM Aging & Long-Term Services Department. My application has no web addy however a phone # 1-866-451-2901.

The only facts that I know are that the program provides short term financial assistance to those who have had debilitating head injury. The funding comes from $5 being included with a speeding citation,it more than likely is included in many more traffic related citations however I cannot say for sure.

I have had multiple events that led up to my diagnosis and enrollment in the MCP.

I really hope my posted experience can help others realize that they are not alone and that in all too many cases "poly-substance" abuse occurs in times of internal crisis and does not warrant the label of addict. In the last 15 years of my life I had become a master of self medicating with mind erasing combinations. My heart has and still is full of love despite years of hating myself because I viewed myself as a worthless,weak junkie. I finally have realized what led me to do,or painfully not do, certain things in my life.

*This is a forum solely for Cannabis I know so to many this post is out of place. What is relevant here is that Cannabis has saved me from myself,saved others from me. Most importantly though is people helping people,we all found this forum for a reason.
