i lost everything

I started using meth when I was 20 years old, by the time I was 29 I no longer had custody of my 3 children my parents wouldn't have anything to do with me and my kids dad and I split up. The only thing I ever thought about was my next fix. About 5 months before my 30th birthday I met my current husband and he gave me reason to sober up, he helped me to get my kids back after 10 years. If I had never met him I would probably be dead right now. I done alot of things I would have never done if I hadn't been messed up, like stealing and one time I even tried prostitution, thank god I couldn't go thru with it. I knew that I could still be saved after that cause I still had a concience (misspelled). It breaks my heart when I see young people on this deadly drug and I just want to shake them and tell them to stop cause it just isn't worth losing everything that you WILL lose if you don't stop, meth isn't worth it!!!!! I talk openly to my three kids about my addiction in hopes it keeps them from ever wanting to try it. I have been sober off of meth for 7 years now and every day is a struggle but I do know one thing my life will never be the same and I will never lose everything again!!!!!
