A True Story:
So, although I just recently turned 18 my "drug abuse" problem has been around. It all started during my junior year of high school and I basically just wanted to try something new and out of the ordinary, most people take up a sport or a hobby, but I took up weed.
That was the first time I actually smoked, unless you count my one inexperienced bong hit in elementary school. Anyway, after that day it started becoming an every month, to an every other week, to an every other day thing. Before I knew it..within a range of 4 month I was smoking multiple times a day. I started realizing it was dangerous early on because not only was I smoking but I would drive high all the time.
Sometimes I would get so trashed that when I got home I could sleep for more than 24hrs. It wasn’t until 4 or 5 months into my new habit that it started affecting my school work. I began to get into a lot of trouble and all though I still refuse to believe that, it was the doings of my marijuana use, it seems too obvious of a pattern to be considered a coincidence. I found myself suspended for the first time, my grades which were golden before began to turn into more C’s and D’s than A’s and B’s. the thing that made me so angry was the fact that I had no excuses for smoking, I lived in a pretty good home, my parents were and still are together, two brothers both in good colleges.
Everything was pretty normal, but then again for every reason I had not to smoke could also be my reason to wanna use. I had to finally quit my job becuase I didnt want anymore income for myself. Out of the $600 I would make in a month (part time job, give me a break) I was spending about $700 on weed, or gas and food after and before smoking. My life began operating around my weed smoking.
Finally one day my parents started to suspect something and were able to prove it, so I had to confess, but little did I know they would take such drastic measures. now, my parents are hella foreing, therefore my honest confession was that “I smoked thc which is found in cigarettes, its only cigarettes and i’ll stop”…yeah I tried to be as honest as I could. It wasnt untill I got busted by cops and ended up stealing my neighbors car that I realized I might really need help.
I ended up gettin my friend arrested, and almost going down for grand-theft auto all in a scheme to smoke some weed. I didnt want to be this person so I agreed to see a therapist, which I hated. I went almost every week for about 3 months before I started smoking again. Yeah I relapsed. Within the third day of my relapsing I got caught in school for being impaired, but they couldnt prove it so I got suspended for cutting class and a lighter (2days)..and now I’m here.
So, you see, I didnt really have a moment of truth, I had a couple. So maybe this time I learned my lesson..?!..and yeah don’t you people think its a bit childish to post stuff about how much you love pot and drugs. Don’t make a mockery of this website because your too stoned to realize you need help.
Please quit it. thanx for reading=]
