life forever changed

I started injecting meth regularly about 4 months ago. My boyfriend was the town meth cook so I did it very often & in large quantities. Within 1 month I was homeless. By the 3rd month I found myself in jail 2 states away from home (Georgia) being charged with intent to manufacture methamphetamine. At only 18 years old I was being charged with a felony. I thought my life was over. I was sure I would be sent to prison. After a month in jail my boyfriend took the charges and got out with 15 years felony probation & 15 to serve if he violates. By the grace of God I got out scott free. One decision to stick a needle in my arm changed my life forever. I'm still homeless & my boyfriend went back to jail. I still have a drug addiction, but I'm not doing meth. I'm terrified that I will be soon. Being homeless & having no family or friends makes me want to turn back to the one thing that made all the bad thoughts go away. I just found methproject.org & I'm hoping I can find the help I need through the site before I go down that dark road again.
