WOW.. I think it's so great to see & hear all these stories not that it's great that any of us went through such a horrible time but great because it could save somone's life!

My name is Charissa & I started doing meth when I was 14 years old... I gave up cheerleading, basketball, friends, family & I even quit school. I was on homecoming court & had a lot going for me but once I started doing meth it all came to a complete stop!! I didn't think about it at the time nor did I even care about what it was doing to me or my family. The things I did for meth were horrible and I still can't believe the person (devil) that I becamae. I would steal from people, lie, cheat & I wouldn't call my mama for weeks. I gave my little sister false hopes all the time & I moved from place to place. I moved to one house with some people & they didn't give me any of my personal belongings back & these just weren't clothes this included my trophies I had from sports I played, years books, poetry & much more stuff that CAN'T be replaced. Bascially, I didn't have anything left from the "good" life that I used to live. I was on meth for 9 years and in that 9 years I can only remember a hand full of things that were actually GOOD in my life. My teeth literally crumbled into pieces & I have no back teeth because of meth. NOw, I'm off of meth I look back & ask myself.. Why did you do that? Who were you? What was I thinking? I missed PROM, I missed graduation & I missed out on "LIFE".. The true meaning & happiness of Life! I never thought that I would be addicted to drugs since I watched my dad drink his life away but it happened & dont' think that it can't or won't happen to you because it WILL if you try this drug! I've always wanted to help a young girl or boy that was on meth & now I hope that I can. I turned my life around in 3 years on my own & now I have my own house, a great job, a new car & my 2 precious angles that I live for.
