I had a needle in my arm twice a day….
I am in my twenties, early twenties. The life I have lead up to this point you would not even believe. I am a drug addict, and until a year ago I had a needle in my arms twice a day. Now, I just swallow enough to not get sick, sad, or tired. I miss family. I have not spoke to them in 3 years — mostly because I am so very ashamed of the arrests, lies, and deception I have cast upon them. I was an escort for a while. Since I am very attractive I got caught up in making $2000 a weekend, but ultimately karma stepped in and I was arrested for prostitution. I have loved only two people along the way — one of them is the reason I am still okay. The other, my heart and soul… is locked up in Federal Prison for the next 10 years.Now, I am trying to decide how to fix it all. My mess, my life.Submitted by: ShesSouless

Life is terribly difficult, but one day, you WILL look back on this time in your life and appreciate how far you have come. Go to a library or bookstore and find a copy of Going Bonkers Magazine. It’s the most empowering magazine I have ever read, and it will help you!

i am also an addict who is still to ashamed to admit my dirty deeds. i stole from a husband and parents. i can feel your pain and my only advice is that at the end of the day the only person who can forgive you is yourself. we have every right to move on and forget about the past, but you must remember where you were and where you are now. be proud of what you overcame, but never forget the feeling of your lowest for it is that that gives you the strength to never go back.
