“ I used cocaine for the first time. It didn’t phase
me and I began using cocaine at school and eventually got enough so that I
could make some extra cash. One of my mistakes was bringing this substance to school to sell to my classmates.
I was very “successful” but the principal caught on and long story short,
I got kicked out of school. My family was furious.
I continued my schooling at home and did quite well.
My family thought it was all over there. But it did not change who
I was spending my time with. It did not change my relationship with drugs and alcohol.
At around five days sober, I checked into an inpatient treatment program.
I learned that I had to get sober not for other people or to look good in the
face of my wreckage that I had to get sober for myself.
Most importantly, I had to learn that I was worth it and
to my classmates too. I am truly very sorry for what I've done. ”
