Speak Up

Growing up my mom always struggled with her addiction to meth. I always swore that I would never do, that I saw what it did to my mom and that I would never do that to myself or to the ones I love, my mom has now been clean and sober for 6 years and I couldn't be more proud. However when I was 16 years old I tried meth for the first time. I don't wanna drag this out but the bottom line is this, I'm 19 years old now and I have been sober for 2 months... I have to struggle everyday to stay clean. When I started using my soul became thawed and I lost a piece of my self that I am fighting every day to get back. Nichiren Buddhism has given me the strength I need but it's hard every day. I am slowly but surely becoming defrosted though, and just hope if anyone at all is considering this drug just remember it will make your reflection a stranger and you will regret it. It's not worth it... BUT YOU ARE!
