Dabbled with all drugs (except herion) since 13. At 16 I was addicted to cocaine, then went from a cocaine addiction to a meth addiction by 18 . Considered prostitution during that last drug addiction. I lied, hurt peoplenand stole alot during those years.. I bought a one way ticket to a large city 8hrs away. Last minute I decided to not go. I cold turkeyd myself off drugs and haven't touched them since. Ill be six years clean in November. I think some of the reasons why I lead myself down to those bad choices was from me being abandoned in my young years of my life. I used drugs and alcohol as a coping mechanism. Having low self esteem, feeling lost and alone from such a young age and not having anyone to trust or any guidance helped create me into a hurt and angry adolescent. Thankfully I am alot better now.

Now I'm a red seal chef, I'm in a happy relationship and have 2 children. I'm happy, I'm stable, I'm a good person and mother. I try to help people when I can, and have stayed away from drugs and anyone using drugs for years. I feel so much better, these last years have been beautiful.
