“ 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. ”
