THE SAD DEMISE OF THE FIX –

April 4, 2022 – As a writer and recovering addict, the highest praise I can give a media outlet is it made me better at each. TheFix.com, which suddenly and surprisingly ended its longstanding run on April 1st was a rare example that accomplished both. 

 I began reading ‘“The Fix”’ shortly after getting clean and sober in late 2011. I’d always been as aspiring writer and was now an aspiring teetotaler. Addicts are often “aspiring everythings” and, while Alcoholics Anonymous had begun showing me how to live sober, as a wannabe wordsmith, I had no idea how to graduate from aspirational to actual. I could write – but serious writers do more than journal or blog for an audience of one.
