I used to be addicted to marijuana, food, and anything else I could get my hands on that would numb my emotions and make me "feel better." Nothing worked. I still didn't feel better after consuming these material things; I had to make me feel better. I did acid once, and had a terrible experience from it. I smoked cigarettes a few times and drank alcohol sometimes to numb myself. I tried hash shrooms and don't recall them working. Thank God they didn't, though, because I would have had to go through another trip I didn't really want to be on. I smoked pot for about a year, and I hardly cried that entire year. I successfully numbed my emotions. Maybe it's good not to cry for that long for some people, but I had to cry, because I was depressed before I started smoking. So I did it for the wrong reasons. One summer I smoked several times a day, every day. I even skipped school and hid in my bath tub from my mom once so she wouldn't know I was skipping school . I was a train wreck. I hardly paid any attention in school, and quit every one of my jobs after only a short period of time. The longest I held a job at one point was a month. I kept a job for almost a year at the longest and my present job I have been working at for six months. I overcame my addictions, and you can too!

Great message, Breelagh! It's not easy to admit to our wrongs as human beings. I'm glad you are clean, proud of who you have become, and am excited to see how you will use your past to help others!
