introduction to years of addiction

I first tried Meth at the age of 15. I ran away from home and met some people while on the streets, they offered me Meth. I decided to return home and finish school, I did not touch Meth again until the age of 19. When I hit a rough spot in my life, I lost all three jobs I had, got kicked out of my parents house, broke up with my boyfriend , and was failing in college. I used for a period of 2 years straight, then got clean for a period of time...then relapsed...clean...relapse...never ending cycle. I snorted, smoked and even have injected meth. I would pick my hands which I felt ashamed of doing, I always tried to hide my hands from people, and avoided shaking people's hands. At one point in my life, I started using both meth and heroin. I have done things I never would have thought I'd ever do. Each time I relapse, it's harder and harder to stay clean and sober. I hope one day I can finally break free of this horrible drug.
