Speak Up

Hello my name is Megan and I started meth when I was 12 I went with some friends they said everyone is doing it. Right then I made the biggest mistake of my life I thought Im only gonna do this once. I left my friends house and was walking home when I thought I saw somthing inside of my skin. I started to scratch it I ran home got a knife and cut part of my skin off there was so much blood my mother herd me screaming because I saw a little boy watching me I started to scream get away my mom ended up taking me to Colorado West (a mental hospital) in Grand Junction. They thought I tried to kill myself. I stoped for 1 year then relapsed when I was 14 all because my mother passed away. After my mother passed away I started meth agian because I felt like I couldnt deal with the pain after my mom died 6 monthes later my dad got remaried. When I was 15 I attacked my step mother because I wanted my mother back I thought if I kill my step mother it will bring my real mother back. After that happened I got moved to a place called RYS (residential youth services) also in Grand Junction). When they thought I was doing better they would send me to a foster home. The second I got out I would look for money to buy meth. after I turned 17 I started going to NA classes I went to meetings my family did everything they could to get me off of meth one day I just prayed and said lord please if I dont quit Im gonna die. I am 18 now I have been off meth for 8 monthes now and doing really good. I hope no one has to experince the horrible effects of meth. now mostly all my teeth are fake I have scares on my wristes on my neck and on my face because of it. Please if somone tells you everyones doing it, dont because not everyone is. Dont try meth NOT EVEN ONCE.
