I became addicted to pain killers at the age of 18 after numerous shoulder surgeries from playing high school football.
Life was normal before this. I had ambitions and goals. Everything was going great for me.
Soon after, I became addicted to heroin and cocaine. I battled this for a few years as it sucked away all of my life force. Nothing else mattered to me but the feeling of being numb.
It took everything from me.
I overdosed on cocaine at the age of 20 after losing my mom to cancer. My dad died while I was in jail of a heart attack.
I relapsed after only one month of being out of jail.
Down to nothing, it took a miracle for me to seek help. My girlfriend lied to me and told me she was pregnant with my child in hopes I would change.
I turned myself in, and have been in rehab ever since.
I've been clean for 2 and 1/2 years now and have come to some amazing realisations.
What is the purpose for drugs in America? Is it so formerly successful people like me can be led astray?
I am deeply upset that the US allows Afghanistan to produce 90% of the world's heroin supply.
Any thoughts on the war on drugs? It seems like a huge profit game for our government.
