REAL STORIES

Age: 32
Gender: female

I started using meth when I was 22. I had just bought my first house and had a great job. At first I though it was great. I was losing weight and feeling great but little by little I starting losing everything. I got pregnate and then lost my job. I quit using while Iwas pregnate, but three months after he was born I started using agian. I spent more time getting high then I did taking care of my son. I started hearing voices and seeing people. I would have conversations with people that were living in my attic. I believed they were getting in through my crawl space and climbing up the walls and spying on me through the attic. I was losing my mind. I would set up video camera's to try to catch the people in my house. Once I climbed all the way through my attic looking for the people in fell through. I can honestly say the last three years of my meth use was like being in Hell. I felt death coming for me, but I couldn't stop. There were several times I imagined death being so much better then where I was. I have been clean for almost four years and God has blessed me so much. I regret all the years I wasted and all the things I missed out on. The whole "it won't happen to me" thing is crap. I said the same thing when people told me all the bad things about meth. But they DO Happen. And It all starts with the first time. Because You can't just do it once. It is an evil drug and it grabs a hold of you and it will take EVERYTHING.
