I am 21 years old and almost everyone in my family has done it- still is on dope. I stopped using 1yr ago. And had done it on and off for 10 yrs. Dope ruined my life I started doing it cause i didnąt want to feel pain anymore. My dad died when i was real young, and i missed him horribly. As time passed i did it so i was not so bored all nite because i could never sleep anyway. But just in the last couple months i really opened my eyes, i saw the people around me my family that were still on dope, and it was horrible. My best friend and brother would get so high he couldnąt pay his rent and took so many of my checks and then forged them. This brother i thought was going to be here for me ended up stealing from me, messing over all of his friends and also kicking my mother out the day before Christmas. I never thought that i could hurt so bad. I wanted to use, but i didnt. The want to dope is no longer there because i saw what my brother has turned into. Then i realized and looked in the mirror how different i look. I have scars on my face from picking at it when i was high, and my teeth are starting to rot away. My biggest dream was to be a model and now i cant untill i fix my teeth. To all the people out there please never even do it once. its not cool to stay up for days at a time, mess over your friends and family, and the biggest the one body GOD gave you.

I am not a Jesus freak or a hard core Christian, And GOD didnąt get me off DOPE. i did, the only person that can change your life is you. I am always going to be an addict i wonąt do drugs but i know i have an addictive personality. So that gives me motive to get my teeth fixed become a model and make millions so i can shop all the time :) Good luck to everybody in CO to get off meth. And ERIC i love you, and be strong. DAD wouldnąt want to see you like this.
