Weird How Things Turn Out...

I had surgery over the summer. I had to take painkillers every two hours. Once I cut myself off of them, I got extremely sick and dropped almost 20 pounds. (I only weigh 120 pounds.) I couldn't eat anything; I threw up all the time. I didn't know what was going on. Apparently my body had become addicted to the painkillers, so in order to re-stabilize myself I got back on them.

After about two months I went through depression because sports were my life, and I could no longer power-lift or jump hurdles. I started coming across more and more prescription pills and also became pretty reliant on muscle relaxers.

It started with those pills, but then I decided I wanted to be happy again. I knew some people that could get me E, and before I knew it, I was rolling every weekend and spending all my money on E. I made a bunch of new friends, and my best friend and I rolled almost every day for about a month and a half. I was even bringing tabs and Xanex to school to take!

After tabs got hard to come across we got into a little more hardcore things like coke and even wet. I personally didn't smoke wet but, we made a hotbox of the car and I breathed so much in, I was hallucinating; I would see a lot of things.

After being around wet I stuttered for about a week and a half. I couldn't think straight, and things didn't ever "click" with me anymore. Now I can't remember a lot of things, and I can tell I'm not completely the same. I smoke weed every chance I can, even during the week just because I NEED SOMETHING.

I just went to jail the other day, so I officially now have a record and am on probation. That was a huge wake-up call. My best friend and I are trying to clean up our lives now, and hopefully with the support of our new boys we can do it.

A lot of times, what people go through including you is not . Drug addiction is a major crime across our country and sometimes we need to see the bad side of things in order to clean our lives up. Not only that, E is not the only solution to depression. The good thing I see about jail and drugs is the illegal substances are contrabans and over here, they have officers search beds and things of that sort to keep the drugs out of the jail and same with juvenile hall. It usually depends on how you are charged. The good side about juvenile hall is everything is single cell and all records are disclosed so that way you still have time to clean up your act before you get a job and live your own life. Just keep in mind that there are better ways of handling your problems other than E. I was diagnosed with depression two years ago and I didn't get out on the street and buy marijuana or meth. I understand that this was a difficult time for you and it is for many people. I assume counseling would be good for you since you look into cleaning up your act but if things come to the worst, I would suggest rehab. Good luck on cleaning up your act and earning your place! -Emily
