I want to let the world know meth is no joke I started using meth at 13 years old thought I was unstoppable and on top of the world by the time I was 15 I was shooting and I was a slave to it. I stole, cheated, lied and did whatever it took to get the drug. I continued on that path for 13 years. I ended up going to prison and lots of jail time - a total of seven years. It ruined my life and has taken many treatment centers, broken hearts, lost friends, and tough love from my family, before I was ever clean. Now today I'm still haunted by it and it's a day to day battle to stay clean and mend my bridges of my past, thanks to a loving family and a woman that has never given up on me. I am clean today and have been for almost four years. I feel good and never want to go down that road again I'm lucky to have my life, and this chance to live life. If you were like I was, I blamed everyone around me for my behavior. And that demon in my head saying I could do it one time, that's a lie because once you start, you can't stop until jail institutions, treatment, or death.
