I never thought i would ever get hooked, but i was the night i had my first lines. Life seemed easier and better being high, but then you get new friends that always wanna go score more and then you end up in some place smoking and snorting lines with people, some waking around with guns and knives. My habbit started small and then i was using and 8 ball a week, my bills were not getting paid i had no money. Then one night i did a very stupid thing.... I stole money from my job and was arrested on a felony theft by taking the next day. My futur looked bleak, I was facing 10 years in prison. I pled quilty under GA first offenders act and was giving 3 yrs of intense probation. One miss hap and I was off to prison. This scared me straight. I completed my probation without any infraction and have been sober for 6 1/2 now.
