Story about Drug Addiction and Alcoholism 1
Sister in Trouble

I am a 36 year old. I'm writing to you about what happened a couple of months ago.

My older sister called me on the phone and told me that Child Welfare came and took her two little boys away from her. She said "not to worry, they are only gone to their father's home until I sober up. I'll get some sleep (take a few pills) I'll be fine tomorrow. I will pick my boys up then." I was somewhat shocked and didn't know what to say. I knew then, that she was intoxicated. I was afraid this was going to happen. She started telling me how she was going to start getting help. So I said "good, I'm glad you made the right decision."

Drugs are No Good

It all started in high school. I used Marijuana at break time with some friends. This was very disorienting and weird. Eventually it escalated into the use of methamphetamine. I thought it would give me energy to "workout". This stuff ruined my life for quite a few years.

It can really happen to anybody…

Back during my freshman year I was the best in the state of Idaho for the 800 meter and the 400 meter. Then during spring break me and some friends had a party. I wasn't going to drink because I had a meet the next day and I didn't want to risk anything. But they had some weed… I had never done it before so I was willing to give it a shot.

Base Head

I am writing this for all those addicted to speed, who have realised or still protected by the comfort of denial. I was once a well liked, confident person (on the outside at least), had many friends, a few besties & the good time friends. Even though I had life issues I always got by like everyone else, kept smiling. Then the breakdown… after breaking up with my best friend of 3 yrs on hols, emotional abuse from my narcissistic mum whole life, abandoned by my father & anxiety I couldn't cope anymore.

My Grandfather

My Grandfather was my best friend. I called him Papa. I was always with him, my Grandma and my brother.

I went over to my grandparent’s house and I noticed my grandma packing her things. She was moving out. Little did I know the reason. I wouldn't find out till years later. I wasn't allowed to see him. But no one would tell me why. All my parents told me was, "Papa is sick. You can't see him till he gets better. If you ever see him...

Up and down and round and round and round and down down down down

I am not sure what my bottom is. You know with addicts how we have "bottoms". I have heard alot, your bottom is when you stop digging. I am what you would call a Chronic Relapser. I am a 21 year old female. I grew up in a normal family, middle class, played sports got good grades, etc. I had a solid group of friends and parents who loved me. Although I could never see that. From the outside I seem perfectly happy...

Its finally the end

I came from a family of violence I watched my dad beat my mom everyday. He abused alcohol and drugs. it was hidden but when I got into my late teens I had realized I ended up just like her with an abusive man controlling in everyway.

Not only did I love him I was obsessed. I started doing this that were not me hooking on the streets and escorts. In order for me to accomplish this I needed to get high somehow so since I'm a shy girl I drank. Became so addicted...

My Story

When I was 20, I met a man that I instantly fell in love with. I was currently in school for Criminal Justice and was working on my BA. After a very short time, he confessed to me that he was a recovering Heroin addict. I, in a million years would have NEVER stayed with a Heroin addict. But for some reason, that didn't matter to me and our relationship grew.

Eventually he relapsed and went from snorting to shooting. By that time...

Upon running away I lived on the streets in many cities...
