Most of my family is either drug addicts or alcoholics or child molesters. Plus most of them live in this area or surrounding areas that I've went to many times to get dope. People don't realize just how drug infested this place really is. It's easier to get clean and stay clean if you live in a area that has drug usage going on but isn't almost everyone using. Every single day at least two people are getting arrested for either possession, trafficing, or something to do with dealing with meth. Seen on the news not that long ago that Alabama is one of the fastest growing places for the making and trafficing of meth. There's around 95-100 inmates in the county jail right now. Out of those 95-100, 80 or so are in for meth. So you see how it's kinda hard for me to get and stay clean? I'm very strong in some aspects of my life but will power or the ability to say no isn't one of them. When I see drug addicts daily, it's hard to turn away from it. I can only say no so many times before I break down and give in. Hell, a while back when I went to an NA meeting, this guy asked me if I wanted to go get high afterwards. So I can't get away from the drugs no matter where I go. It's always there. My problem is saying no and sticking to it. IT seems impossible for me to do.
