I have been doing drugs since I was 12� I didn't do meth until 6 months ago, first time I did it, I shot it. From then on I couldn't stop. I sold everything, stole all my mom's stuff, robbed people�things I would never do. Now I'm in a lot of legal trouble, I never even had a speeding ticket before I started using meth. No matter how much fun I had, or how much it made me fit in...it's not worth all this. I broke my mom's heart more than once, I scared her to death when I showed up at her house having lost 40 pounds in 2 months. I have done some really horrible things to get high, and I'm not proud of it. I can't take back the things I have done, I just wish someone would have warned me what trying meth would entail.

6 months ago I had a cute apartment, a new benz, a bank account with a decent savings, my families trust, a clean record, flawless skin, and dreams for the future. My family won't even talk to me now, my car got totaled, I was homeless for 4 months, I spent all my money, I have scars all over from picking, I spent time in jail, and now have 2 felonies on my record, and I lost my license for 18 months. I gave up my life when I started using meth.
