I Used Drugs

I started using drugs when I was 12 years old. Like most people it started with pot, and as I got older the drugs changed. By the end of highschool I was using cocaine (soft and crack), LSD, ecstasy, painkillers and benzos. Well, shortly after highschool I started using heroin, I started sniffing it then started to shoot it. I LOVED HEROIN! I thought that I had finally found what I need. After a few years of shooting dope everyday I realized that I was no longer in control of my using. My entire life was heroin. I was arrested many times and ended up in jail. After leaving jail I went to a theraputic community where I stayed for nearly two years. Well, I've been out for almost six months and I'm still clean. Life is good without drugs or alcohol, and I've started relationships over with my friends and family.

It took a lot of guts to tell your story. Very admirable! If you don't mind me asking, what happened to make you start using at 12? I'm a parent and would like to know what I can do to keep my kids from going down that path.

well done , you can be inspiring for people who think they can't stop drugs , and you can show them how life is better without it ....because you have very good experience with that .

*Life is good without drugs or alcohol, and I've started relationships over with my friends and family.* that's great !.

You truly are an inspiring example of strength, self-reflection and courage...

There's much more courage in this story than just the act of sharing it...

Never try to forget yourself at your worst, or you very well may forget... but I believe you are no longer the man who went into the community and therefore beyond any weakness previously entertained by your former self.

You have done great... keep it up!

It doesn't mean anything. Just some letters.
