People who really know me know my story, but I was never really the best kid growing up, I got mixed up with the wrong crowd very early on, and by the age of 15 I found myself hooked on meth. I struggled for so long off and on, I’d get off for 6 months to a year if that and be back on it before I knew it. Now I wasn’t one of those addicts that would do stupid shit for it, but if someone had it I definitely was doing it, and as I got older, I did buy it myself. But for the most part, I never did it on my own, always around someone who was doing it as well. I remember I reached 20 years old, and I remember taking a bad hit, which knocked me to my knees, and I couldn’t stay awake, it scared me so bad, that the next day I woke up and questioned myself what am I doing with myself. I quit that day, I got a job by the end of the week, went through withdrawals but had quit cold turkey, life wasn’t easy. But I started working, and changed my life the best I could. Now it’s been almost 12 years and I’ve been totally clean. I used to do meth, and pop pills like crazy. 12 years totally clean. It’s the best thing I could have done, I’m 32 now, and I even quit cigarettes 9 years ago. My life is totally different and I am proud of how far I’ve come. I’m a all around better person, especially with my son in my life.
12 year difference, active using vs clean and sober
