I read an article in People magazine the other day that really struck a chord with me. I saw rows and rows of young faces forever frozen in time by this horrible drug. I stopped for a moment and thought about each time I came so close to death and tears just rolled down my face because somehow, somehow I escaped its grips.
I tried it for the first time in high school and my stomach dropped when I realized it was a feeling I'd chase indefinitely. I shoved the thought aside and went on with it. It became me. I became obsessed.
My life was almost ended by this drug. Today I can say that I am three months sober and it was the hardest thing I have ever done. Please don't try it. Avoid it and people who do it. Don't become one of those faces in the news.
