Addicted

I was living in a small island in Hawaii. That island was the most known meth users out of the Hawaiian islands I always told myself I would never do meth. I would see my cousin smoking and they would show it to me. I was already having trouble and one day I just decided I didn't care. My cousin showed me a meth glass pipe, then she started telling me about all these things about it. I didn't care so I tried it. After that I started smoking more and more liking that rush. I wouldn't eat and would stay up all night to party. I started losing so much weight and didn't even look like myself. I went from being 100 to 60 pounds. I would steal money from my grandparents and trade my things just to get my drug. I would sneak out in the middle of the night just to find the drug. I would travel to the other side of the island just to meet someone who would give me the drug or just to smoke. I would smoke anywhere, in the bathroom at shopping malls or my school. I became violent and was always irritated. I even got my boyfriend to smoke with me but unlike me, he was alot stronger and never got addicted. I started realizing that it was taking over me. I got help from my friends and family. I finally had the strength to stay away from meth. Iv'e been clean for almost a year now and I'm very proud of myself.
